Some ROE:


1. Combat aircraft means it was designed or modified to employ
air-to-air or air-to-ground/ship/boat weapons.


2. Combat means someone was activily shooting back (or really wanted
to) while the aircraft was performing it's mission.


3. Let's leave out recce, that just gets too complicated!


To start things off, here are my USAF candidates:

Could be wrong, but here goes:

B-36, B-47, F-84F, F-89, F-106, F-101, F-86D, F-94C, Saab Draken, Saab
29, F-4D Skyray, F7U Cutlass, F9F (swept-wing) Cougar,


TF-9s used as armed FastFACs by the Marines in Vietnam. Tunnan used in the
Belgian Congo, as already mentioned by someone.


Avro Vulcan,


Falklands.

English Electric Lightning,


Possibly used by Saudi Arabia and/or Kuwait for ground attack? Unlikely.

Alpha Jet,


Not sure on this.

Folland Gnat,


India, in both 1965 and 1971.

BAe Hawk,


COIN.

Tupolov Tu-22,


Usd by both Iraq and Libya according to Bill Gunston (circa. 1979), the
former against the Kurds, the latter against Tanzania in support of Uganda.



Tupulov Tu-26, B-58 Hustler,
Tupolov Tu-16,


An Irawi Tu-16 bombed Netanya, israel during the Six-day war; it was shot
down (shared by a Mirage and AAA). Also used by Egypt to fire Kelt ARMs
against Israel in 1973.

Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer,


Namibia by RSA, DS by RAF.

McDonnell F2H-4 Banshee,


Banshees were used in Korea by the USN, but I can't remember if the -4 was.

Dassault Ouragen,


Israel (56, 67 and WoA) and India (1965 for sure).

Hawker Sea Fury,


FAA in Korea.

Supermarine Attacker...


Don't think Pakistan used it in combat, but won't swear to it.
