I will stick to the famous jets;

X-1 first airplane that broke the sound barrier in level flight);
MiG15 & F-86 (Korea)
Mig-19 (first operational supersonic fighter in the world)
A-12/SR-71 (first operational mach-3 airplane)
MiG-21 (fought almost every war after Korea, over 10,000 built and still in
production in China)
F-4 Phantom II (legend of its own, too many reasons to explain)
EE Lightning (sky dragster! 8-)
F-14 Tomcat (first of 'teen' series, a plane with a character)
