I'm going to have to put F-15 in any US list, it was heads & shoulders above anything before,
Me-262 was also a breakthrough of even greater impact.

This is why Viggen is a must have on the Swedish list.
Aggressive short stop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJo7aqOfRww (turnaround <60 seconds from wheels touching the ground, turn around and be airborne again)
Look at how well it handles corners on tight roads ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLPrnc8GNPU&t=1m30s
It was the uggly Betty among defensive fighters and ahead of its time. (Adopted in 1971)

Wow seriously? I though this was another "What's Your ?
I like thread drift and I am big fan of ignoring the question asked and answering the one you wanted to answer.
Out of all those US jets which two are your favourites?
Responses to others:
I confess to being annoyed that I forgot the Lavi.
Also pondering whether to bump Mirage F1 for the 4000 and the Gripen for Viggen ( partly those vids, for which thanks and partly coz I used to have a Saab Viggen with 4 wheels)
