Top Ten Modern Aircraft

Ok. Firstly, I don’t want a lot of loyalty crap (who does?) on, “YOU AMERICANS ARE **** AND YOUR AIRCRAFT SUCK *** AND blah, blah, blah!”

Or, better yet, “Nough said” comments (Aircraft XX is better than XY. Nough said.) If you’re going to say something PLEASE put meaning behind it. Otherwise, its just your opinion versus someone else’s facts or interesting statements.

Thirdly, “modern” could mean anything after WWII.

Top Ten Modern Military Aircraft:

— Best kill ratio
— Overall status (of the time)
— Looks (heh, heh, in some cases, “ugly” or “scary” may be put into thought over “sexy”. Such as, A-10 scores high because its ugly, or the F-16 scores high because its sexy or cool.)
— Survivability (compared to aircraft and systems of the day)
— Cost
— Technology (of the time)
— Influence on history
— Most destructive/terrifying
— Mission success rate
— Capacity/capabilities (for its intended job)

You might’ve noticed “at the time” everywhere. Well, obviously, state of the art technology in 1970 isn’t the same as it is now. Heck, I picked 10 comparisions, so we could even do a best aircraft in each.

(Basically, I’m just curious to see what people would say. More of a poll than a competition.)
