    In the Mt. Rushmore of elite American aircraft you’d have to strongly consider putting the Mustang up there four times.

    There’s really nothing like it in the history of America fighters in terms of so thoroughly outclassing the competition. And to think it didn’t even start out that way.

    No honorable mention for the P-38?

    HM for the photo of Dick Bong as well.

    His name was Dick Bong and he shot motherfuckers down by the boatload. How cool is that?

    P-38s also shot down Yamamoto in 1943.

    P-51 and the F-22 are the only planes that in their era completely and overwhelmingly outclassed every other fighter of their era's. I went with the F-22 simply so I could give a Fuck Off Row Peter Puffer to Rowboat for not including it. Either are acceptable answers.

    Moving beyond the truly overpowered fighters, my favorites on the list are the are of course the F-18 (duh), the Corsiar and the Hellcat because killing Japs was cool, and the Phantom because that big brick was a hell of a machine.

    I wanted to do F-22 but we? Only made like 200 of them.

    They have a ME-262 at the airplane museum in McMinnville, Oregon. Cool as hell indeed. Thank god they were out of gas by the time they got that thing off the assembly line.
    BTW Heater Allen brewery in McMinnville is excellent. Their Pilsner is top notch.

    Fuck it.

    B-52.

    Size matters.

    I know you’re being sarcastic but a B-52 is a bomber, not a fighter.
    BOOM! ROASTED!

    They all look the same to me.
