Poll: meanest looking fighter jet ever built?

[Weasel]

Trying to get some life into the boards and we haven't done general polls in a long time so thought I would get one going.  Pick the jet that looks the meanest/toughest to you, one that just looks like it was made for fighting; like a heavy weight fighter entering the ring, you see it and go "oh crap".

I understand that you are constrained by the board to only 10 choices, BUT I find it strange that you include two aircraft that never went into production! Especially as you leave off some VERY pretty aircraft!

Where is the F-16? Blackburn Buccaneer???? Mirage? <---- ALL better looking than the 10 you list (IMHO)

Of the polled choices had to choose the Sea Vixen a beautiful aircrft!

[Scorpio_Rocks]

I didn't say pretty aircraft, I said aircraft that look like they mean business.   Geez man, it is just for fun!  Where is your poll?  Some people have to complain about everything.

It wasnt a complaint - merely an observation/discussion! wasnt that the whole point of the thread to "get some life" on the forum? ...

My two all-time favorite looking jets are both from the Korean War.

Grumman F9F Panther





North American F-86 Sabre

You like the panther?  I thought about it but it doesn't exactly strike fear into you.  The F86 is awesome, but I didn't want to make the poll all US.

Since the poll says best looking I like Scorpios comment as a nice addition to the conversation.

Sea Vixen for me, I might be a bit biased as I used to work for DH.

I see after reading this again I over reacted and I do apologize.  I have been in a bit of a bad mood lately but that is no excuse.    My poorly written poll question was suppose to be "which aircraft do you think looks the meanest, like it means business"; in non-fighter terms I would go with the A10, all aggression that one is.

Sorry once again.

Thanks - no worries!

And you are completley right for pure aggression in looks the warthog takes some beating! (flown by "Fighter" squadrons so isn't it a fighter?)

The A10 is a designated ground attack, close air support against helicopters. But if you want you fly the A10, I'll take the F18 and we can see who comes home :-)
