P-51 MustangIn the Mt. Rushmore of elite American aircraft you’d have to strongly consider putting the Mustang up there four times.

P-51 Mustang
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.biak1 said:In the Mt. Rushmore of elite American aircraft you’d have to strongly consider putting the Mustang up there four times.

HM for the photo of Dick Bong as well.HFNY said:No honorable mention for the P-38?
His name was Dick Bong and he shot motherfuckers down by the boatload. How cool is that? -

F-14 TomcatI voted for the Tomcat solely based on Tim Cruise’s experiences in Top Gun.

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...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. -
