I must confess, I had to look this up as I did not know they ever had any Mustangs or Meteors.

"I had ten rockets on board, and as I wasn't particularly fond of head-on attacks, I salvoed the whole lot at him. The rockets didn't hit him but but they must have scared the bejesus out of him, for he did a steep turn to starboard... I let him have the full blast, all eight fifty-calibers. I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."

I didn't know they had any meteors.
I would say the Mirage, because of the role it played in the Six Day War.
"His motor's conked out!"
"What's the differance, they're all Nazis!"
"Luke, shut up!"
"Fear the hook!"
"Oh.....I wanna fly."
"You mean the kind that go under water and fly up the stairs?"
"What you doing? Oh Nooooo!"
wot no Spitfire?
Would say F15 eagle as it has the best (as far as i kow) kill to loss ratio in the world. and would be paying back tenfold what they bought it for.....

DEFY THE SYSTEM
Based on its undefeated record - it goes to the F-15
I went for the Mirage III because of its importance to the 6 day war. Had they not had it, they stood an excellent chance of losing and the results don't bare thinking about.
There is no doubt in my mind that the F15 is the best fighter of its type but had Israel not had it, I believe they would have survived as a nation with the F16 plus their better training.
I am inclined to agree with you.Originally Posted by Glider
If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines
While I think they could have done it without the F-15, the fact still remains it is the best aircraft that they have.
fly boy:"isnt that the first jet bomber becasue i have flown one in a flight sim before and i know how it handles"
The Mirage,the plane is which has to create for the following generations the legend of the IAF.
I think the Mirage was undoubtedly the most important. Sure, the F-15 and F-16 have given them a huge advantage over anyone within a 1000 mile radius, but the Mirages did have a huge role in the 6 Day War.

When are we going to give them the F-22?
"His motor's conked out!"
"What's the differance, they're all Nazis!"
"Luke, shut up!"
"Fear the hook!"
"Oh.....I wanna fly."
"You mean the kind that go under water and fly up the stairs?"

I suspect you won't due to the security risk, not the whole thing anyway.
Here's a wing of the F-22, Mr. Israeli President!

F15. 30 years. Something like 100 victories and no losses. Seems the Arabs have just given up trying to beat it for the time being.
Anybody ever see the vid where the Israeli brings back the F15 with the left wing gone? Hell of a vid. Hell of a pilot.
Gotta be the F-15. It's record is un-blemished..... Speaks for itself.

Real airplanes have round engines and two wings !
