Yeah and.. BOEING..
It is a McDonnell Douglas.. BOEING has nothing to do with it.. it is like Mig would buy Sukhoi and named SU-27 as MIG-27 (there is allready a real MIG-27.. but youll get the point..)
And C-5 first flew in 1968 the C-17 in 1991..


These are aircract of differend generations..


But this is matter of oppinion.. "Your favorite plane.."

I'll stick with the old school SR-71.
Yes, while we have fater plane now, that baby hit Mack 3.2+ in the 1960's!.

If you want to count all aircraft, the space shuttle's kind of cool. It can go into space and all.

The problem is F-14 was not made for DOGFIGHT but rather a platform for long range Phoenix missiles.

Well, the sexiest just has to be the Sukhoi "Flanker" series!
But my personal favourite has always been the old English Electric/BAC Lightning

Just from a performance aspect it rates #1. Plus it looks so bad-ass for a late 1950's tech. Just makes you think what they replaced it with..................

The problem is F-14 was not made for DOGFIGHT but rather a platform for long range Phoenix missiles.


The F-14 was also designed for dogfight. It can turn better than the F/A-18 due to the variable geometry wings.

Instantaneous turn rate:

F-14 Tomcat: 18.7 grd/sec
F/A-18 Hornet: 18.5 grd/sec

Sustained turn rate:

F-14 Tomcat: 14.3 grd/sec
F/A-18 Hornet: 12.3 grd/sec

And it had a good combat record, check my previous post, I don't want to make double posting.
