Got very little interest in jets, but if I had to name one, the SAAB Gripen is rather sexy.

Same here..but English Electric Lightning does it for me. It's just mad. Perhaps a pure interceptor rather than a fighter though.

Nothing beets our Fliegende Tonne

Just gloss over the fact that the wings were prone to breaking off.

F-86 is a sexy beast.

 

And the devs just announced the next expansion pack is KOREA!!!

 

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night. Please feed the trolls.

 

 

 

She is a sexy beast though.

If you read more closely you would see it's Korea 1927. Don't know what that will involve.

Su 27 with f16 b50 cockpit.... Heck I just love nato cockpits... Russian ones are so badly designed until these new 90s and 00 cockpits.

Probably the Me-262.

 

Not much in airplanes interests me if it's after 1945, I'm sorry to say.

 

Though that F-22 is rather sexy... actually that could just be because my favourite Transformer is Starscream.

^ Agree with Cybermat, also got more interest in early jets than anything modern.

 

For germans of course the Me 262...this plane is just amazing of you ever stood infront of it. Must have been a dream to fly even with it's flaws!

 

For the US I'd go for the F9F-5 Panther, really learned to lovet this one in WT due to it's great armarment, versetility and of course sexy look,

Not that much of a fan of propellerless flying but if you're a Brit of a certain age and went to air displays in the sixties and seventies then this is the one;

 

 

As Sallee says, not really a fighter.  It's cold war role was to attain forty-five thousand feet as quickly as possible and loose off its missiles and Aden cannon at incoming Soviet bombers.

I've been dipping into "Lightning Boys" recently. Some very interesting accounts. Don't normally go for jet stuff, but there's just something about the Lightning.

Haven't flwon it anywhere apart fro Arma 2 by now (not to mention I just can't get into DCS's difficulty level... :()

Good luck in that one as a fighter!

F-16 would have to be mine I think.

Yes I would say an F-16 is a true fighter. An A-10 is more like an exellent modern day IL-2

The first one does actually get up in the air. I thought it was left there for spare parts but no. They are one tough bird :)

 

 

Testing the canons 4:00 mins

Here's a Mig-21 still working away this year. I see in his turn he actually has his flaps down.

I thought I was so out there being a fan of the MiG-21. Instead it seems every flight simmer and his cat is in love with it  :(

My cat liked the Saab Draken, so I had to have it put down.

My dog likes the MiG 21.

I thought they were the ugliest damn things to start with. A paper towel tube with wings I use to call them. But my best friend Ray....who I met by the swing set the first day of grade one btw said I was an idiot and took me to his house about 36 years ago and showed me all of his Mig crap and info. I've been a fan ever since.

Now when I look at one I think " I wouldn't want one after me back in it's hay-day"  :o:
