In my humble opinion.

I like the F-4 Phantom II.

HAha! That's a nice plane, I prefer A-4 to the F-4

the F-15 eagle definitely takes the 1st position.it's formidable war-bird.but i don't see the SU-27 on any of the list.also,i think the MIG-21 ought to be on the list.i know,it's quite old,but don't 4get that it was very dangerous when it came to close dog-fighting.

Right into the frying pan! surely it must come down to kills to losses? if thats so then F-15 is the Top dog,but theres a dark stalking horse in the pack not considerd.The Royal Navy Sea Harrier FAS1 known to the Argentine airforce as 'The Black Widow' of Falklands war fame deserves to be in with a shout,none lost in air to air combat with the enemy!
