Hence the "All Eras Allowed" part of the heading.

One of the coolest warplanes ever made IMO, especially the later variants!

Why don't you approve of the F-4 or F-16? Not that I'll change the list, I just want to know.

The F-4 was an amazing plane and extremely versatile. It was also the first US plane to be able to reach the altitudes of Tu-95. And a very nice looking and mean sounding plane, the American ones are extremely dirty ... So, the British put RR Spey engines in.

And the F-16? What's wrong with that, a beautiful nimble and effective aircraft.

The Speys were cleaner. The British can't have dirty aircraft flying around all of the place, even now wieners are trying to restrict the sound they make. And the thing that started it all was a low flying Chinook.

Anyway, I'll change the F-16 to AC-130 'Spectre' the F-16 can be sixth.
