From working on the F14,FA 18, and F4 in the navy I would say the best is the F14. It is the fastest and can carry the Pheonix missile!! The coolest thing is seeing a F14 passing between a Aircraft carrier and a Destroyer while only 50 feet off the water!! Another cool thing is seeing a Tomcat pass by the ship at over 1500 mph!! Simply amazing!!

This may be off topic, but are they any good modern fighter games? i had one of those janes games back in the day with like 8 or 9 or 10 planes, russian and american, it had the harrier, the f14, the f8 crusader, and a few others. Any good ones out? Just reading boxes and websites its hard to tell

Edit: The game was called jane's USNF 97. It is probably still worth checking out i guess.

a lot of this information is good I would like to post this from a website that is considered IMO to be a more credible source than widipedia.

"The SR-71 was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, at that time vice president of the company's Advanced Development Projects, known as the "Skunk Works." The first version, a CIA reconnaissance aircraft that first flew in April 1962 was called the A-11. Upon retrofitting with J-58 engine, it was designated the A-12. An interceptor version was developed in 1963 under the designation YF-12A. A USAF reconnaissance variant, called the SR-71, was first flown in 1964. The A-12 and SR-71 designs included leading and trailing edges made of high-temperature fiberglass-asbestos laminates which among other features contributed to their reduced radar signature. Its existence was publicly announced by President Lyndon Johnson on Feb. 29, 1964, when he announced that an SR-71 had flown at sustained speeds of over 2000 mph during tests at Edwards, Calif."

Thank you for the great information on the SR-71. I personally find this a/c to be one of the more amazing jets to fly the air.

Its not a fighter because it wasnt designed to fight other aircraft even if it can or not. You could out maneuver that plane with a cesna

Is it me or does the new F35 JSF look like a bad plane for the navy? Single engine and one plane for all forces...

FW190 was a tank with wings. Surprisingly as agile if not more so then the ME 109.



ME 262 First operational jet powerd fighter plane. First one was shot down by John Glenn.
The same "first american to orbit the earth" John Glenn? If so, I doubt he flew his Corsair over to Europe from the Pacific and knocked down a 262...

I think that this airframe has many advantages that each branch will be able to take advantage of. Each Airframe could be configured based on branch requirements. It is similar to F-22 but with joint services requirements in mind.

Chuck Yeager didnt shoot down the first one either.

He is quoted as saying something like "I shot down the first Jet I ever saw."

Looks like it was Maj. J Myers on August 28, 1944 in his P-47...
