To return to the topic, I'd cast a vote for the F-8. Best air superiority
fighter in the US arsenal for its era (mid-50's competing with century
series, etc). Best kill ratio in real world combat (Vietnam). Best ramp
strike rate ... oh well.

What about the Sea Harrier FRS.1 in the Falklands, with 20+ kills and no Air
to Air losses? Operating when outnumbered with about 5 Argentinian combat
a/c for every Harrier in service.
