Just list your favorite military aircraft and a short description on why it is your favorite. My favorite military aircraft is the F/A-18C, because it is what the Blue Angels fly.

I suppose mine would have to be the c-130
just becuase it is used so widely amongst airforces..
+ it has so many varients e.g AC-130U
Eurofighter, nothing comes close

If i had to pick just one it would have to be the F-22. While it might not have the history/record as some of the legacy fighters, it's performance in excercises is incredible. And it looks the part.
"...the victims, flying conventional fighters, never had a clue they were being stalked by F-22s until they were 'killed.'"

Panavia tornado, it has saved many NATO planes, its one of its kind there is no replacer for tornado.
USA would like to have those...but have to ask britons to help do deep penetrations

In my opinion Sukhoi Su-37 for today is the best fighter jet....in a fact is a few planes for today but in close future should by a deadly opponent for F-22 ,Eurofighter and F-35 and few else.....Now You know why in a NATO code this plane have a name "Terminator".....because can destroy in air space every other plane ....yes I know it's said but it's true....sorry about it guys but in this moment no one can beat this fighter....is just the best

I was on last MAKS 2009 Air Show and I'm heard some of infos from one of Russian aviation specialist that Raptor still have this same nature as stealth coat problems ...with the rest flight characteristics, weapon standard etc... can't stay on this same level with Su-37...because like a typical fighter is not enough strong for air confrontation with "Terminator"
....so more or less reality will change us opinion about both super jets and in a close future we will see how looking a real form of air domination in XXI century...

For today I saw both machines and this how they can fly, I know how looking constructions of both jets.... and in my opinion :
Aerodynamic characteristics, combat skills , radar range , use weapon types and constructions are really modern ....All of this parameters can create one of the best fighter jet in the world.
So answer is clear but make You sure that You know this same technical data about Su-37 as You know about F-22...
