f16 falcon hands down for me, but what does this have to do with cryptozoology

The choices are lousy... what if you're a B-52 or AC-130 gunship type of guy?

It has to be the SR-71 Blackbird

I would have to say RAH-66 or F-35 or A-10.

A-10 all the way...

...not the quickest, not the sleekest, not the most heavily armed, not the most nimblest...but theres something about the A-10 I love - its only job is to wander around and lay down HUGE amounts of smack...

...the A-10 is like some solid brutal old gaurd-dog that just lays around sunning itself on the porch, but when called to action calmly stands up and tears any intruder to shreds before slumping back down for a well earned rest...

F-105 Thunderchief, also known as the "Thud"... my father told me stories of having his a$$ saved by a squadron of these in VietNam...

Look at my Avatar!

Mi-24 Hind D

This choppa is THE MUTTS

NATO never came close to this ...

sure the chinook could carry more, the Apache had more ass-kicking capability. but this beast is the helicopter equivelant of an M2 Bradley crossed with an M1 Abrams

rockets, machine gun, AT missles...(homer simpson style drooling )

My all time fav is and has to be the Harrier Jumpjet just love the way it can take off upwards

The best (THE RAF ONE), or the royal Navy one, or that shameless rip off known as the AV8B (THE AMERICAN ONE)?

New ! The JANES Recognition Guide 1999 says : last version is the C-130 U, equipped with better command capabilities. Now all weapons can aim separate targets. Weapons are:
- one 105 mm howitzer
- one 40 mm bofors
- two GAU-12C 25mm machine guns
- Hellfire missiles on wing pylons

Of course the RAF one, didnt know the US had one?

McDonnell Douglas ripped it off (After all why would the mighty USA by from us?). The US Marines use it - badly.

(just joking)

Seen True Lies? Arnie schwarzenegger "borrows" one from the US marines

They did not really rip it off, it was a joint operation. The USMC Harrier is the best version.
