Favorite Fighter Jet Discussion Topic

[theforumist]

Apparently, Raptor_101 made the thread a poll only one by accident. No big deal, all discussion will go on in here then. Right, I'll get it started.

What are my favorites you ask?

Well, in order:

1st: F-22
2nd: F-35 A/B/C (Also know as the JSF or Joint Strike Fighter)
3rd: SU-47 Berkut
4th: Eurofighter Typhoon
5th: SU-37 Terminator

My favorites that are not on that list are the SU-33 Flanker, F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, F-15 E Strike Eagle, P-51D Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, and the F-86 Sabre.

Yeah, I have alot of favorites. I love planes. I love to fly them, be in them, be near them, take pictures of them. I just love planes. A miracle of physics they are.

[Raptor_101]

Sorry. Didn't know about that. I'm new here. Yeah my favorites are the F-22 and the Su-47 on the list. Otherwise I like some of the experimental planes like the X-32 JSF and YF-23 BlackWidow II. I agree with you. I have always liked planes. Since I was three maybe. I would definitely want to fly in a jet at least once in my life to get the experience.

I'm more of a fan of the big planes. I've been in so many, I don't know which one I've been in the most. I've probably flown in a MD-80 more than anything. Military planes are cool, to an extent.

Yes, I agree with you with the YF-23. Thats a good looking plane but the F-22 beat it, unfortunately.

[Raptor_101]

Yeah, but I see why they chose the F-22 over the YF-23. The maneuverability, cheapness, and less maintenance. But otherwise the YF-23 should've won. Yeah I only like military planes for their looks and design features. Maybe making an airliner look like a F-22 for example would look awesome lol.

I'm awaiting the arrival of the passenger variant of the flying wing.

[Raptor_101]

It will come out some time in 2030. That's what I've read. It will be a lot better than the tube and body planes we have today.

[theforumist]

So I have heard. I'd just like to see one of these things. But, I'll stick with my loyal 737-800 for the time being.

[Raptor_101]

I'll stick with the Boeing 787 for now.

[twansen]

i dont know sh*t about planes.
so im just gonna randomize.

...Boeing 787!!!

[Raptor_101]

Do you know what the Boeing 787 is at least?

[m0pman]

big big big plane. i only know about the F-22 and i like it. oh, and i don't know if they're real but the planes in the movie 'Stealth' were super awesome.

[Raptor_101]

The planes in Stealth were fake. They had good graphics in the movie to make you believe it was real. I agree those were sweet jets.

[twansen]

ya i know what the Boeing 787 is

[Raptor_101]

Cool. All you have to do is talk about your favorite planes and you would know something at least about planes.

[m0pman]

arent they building a massive commercial plane with a lounge, cabins for sleeping in and two stories or something?
