Country:  | Who Picked the SU-37? It's a neat aircraft but has a long way to go to be considered the "Greatest Jet Fighter of All Time." My wife and I are having a girl in Feb. She's going to be "Miss Universe" in 2028 -

| Flyboy, make your plans to begin her indoctrination on what planes were great.
My baby girl is being told that The B17 was superior to the Lancaster, the P51 was better than a -190, and the F4 was the best postwar jet......  )

I know I did this already, but some people were not satisfied with the selection on my last poll so I am starting this over again.

| Phantom for me is the best overall, all planes after Vietnam (F14,15,16,1  operational statistics can't be taken as proof, basically what they did in combat was target practice with obsolete and outnumbered enemy forces.
PS: why in the 'wanna be' we have F22 and JSF but no Eurofighter, Gripen and Rafale?

| F4 all the way. It WAS the definitive fighter of the 60's and 70's. A veteran of several wars, often against top of the line Russian fighters, used in many roles and flown by many countries in the world.
Id say the F15 would be second place, as it hasnt been as versatile. It is also so expensive, the F16 had to be developed.

The F-4 was a fast, manouvarable and through a few tough learned lessons a well armed aircraft as well.
The F-15 was basically a perfected version of the F-4 and would rule the Skies for the next 20 years.
