Hats off to one of the greatest warbirds in history: the F-15.

I've got a preference for the C model, the last of the great dogfighters.

Damn right it is one of the finest. This used to be my wallpaper. Thanks for more material. You're missing a key component, though:

ASM-135 ASAT being launched, the first and only time an airplane destroyed a sattelite.

Perhaps even cooler than the satellite shootdown story... flying with a MISSING WING and landing (video story below).

Hide yo Falcons, Hide yo Hornets, this plane is like rolling a Phantom and a Warthog into one delicious package that's not going anywhere anytime soom. Incidentally, the latter two are my two other favorite planes. The former two are for ninnies.

And for the scale-awareness-impaired:

Size matters.
