In refrence to the JSF, thank my eyesight that the X-32 did not win the contract.
It looks like a bloated penguin.

I can see that thing at the burger king drive thru, melting the ford explorer behind it.

Brian, i remember that on ebay. I had the guy send me videos of him driving it, i'll try and dig them up.

I would have to say

1. МиГ-31БМ

2. С-37 Беркут

3. Су-27 and its modifications through 37

4. МиГ-29 ОВТ

Of course this is the list today... as some might know, Russia has yet to reveal its definition of the 5th generation, so if it does happen I think that will definitely be on the top of my list. Even though the expensive F-22s and the so called JSF program have been tagged as 5th generation, they have already been criticized as still being a 4+ and can be matched by the airplanes mentioned above.

The Mig-29 has very nice lines, and the Su-27 (and it's descendants) were super engineering, although it always looked a little weird to me.

This is just awesome:

1. F-15 Eagle
2.Suchoj 27 to 37
3.MiG 29

i have seen all of them on air show's.
I used to live 100 km from polish MiG 29's air base and they always come over my place to practice dog fights- better than any air show!!!!

SR-71a is a close second.

Fools, the XB-70 ownz all of those for coolness.

The SR-71 has to be the default king of all jets, but look up the B-58 "Hustler" supersonic bomber from the '50s. Very cool.

My vote goes for the SR-71.

I know you didnt just break out with Starscream...

Dont make me break out the Veritech/Macross on you!

I always liked the North American XB-70 Valkyrie.
I am also very very partial to the B-52. Like fine wine, it has stood the test of time.

That could also easlity relate to the C-130... but that's not a jet.
