2. F-15
3. F-104
4. SR-71
5. F-18
6. A-10
7. F-16
8. F-14
9. Harrier (or Sea Harrier or AV-8)
10. V-22 (stretching "jet" to turboprop)
11. Folland Gnat
12. F-105
13. F-86
14. MiG-17
15. MiG-25
16. B-70 (or XB-70)
17. B-52
18. B-58
19. A-4
20. F-8
Mind you, this has to be a fantasy. I couldn't even afford the fuel
for most of these.
Surely any list like this can't leave out the two best looking of all:
the Hawker Sea Hawk and Hawker Hunter (which Peter Kemp has already
mentioned).
Hawker makes good-looking aircraft, don't they? I left out the
Swedish aircraft, too.
By the time I get all the interesting and good-looking airplanes
listed, I've got every military jet ever flown. OK, I admit it. I
like them all. I'd take any one of them in a heartbeat. Even deltas
like the F-102 and the Mirages.
