my father flew the P51 Mustnng while in the Philippine Air Force. He named it "Be-ang". He fought against communist insurgents in my country around 1950. He loved the plane so much.
Why isn't the F-15 or F-16 on here instead of the F-117? Their reputations as actual fighters are way better, and they didn't have to include the "F" prefix just to keep pilots from being embarrassed for flying them.
Ok Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden is a way more serious pilot than I thought. I knew he is allowed to fly 747 Ed Force one but being selected to be in this video respect.
I've said the same since seeing one at Patrick AFB, FL in 90, outrageously loud!! I still marvel at watching a C-131 on landing, looks like it will fall out of the sky.
The loudest I've heard was an F-14 doing a low level minimum radius circle in afterburner. But it was only somewhat louder than a Harrier doing a routine take off.
The armor-piercing round used to shoot the scraper was loaded with stripper clips, so it can't be an AK47. Assuming it was the same 7.62x39mm round, it's likely an SKS
The whole show starts off wrong. F-117 is not a fighter. It is a bomber or close air support stealth aircraft. Fighters by definition fight other aircraft. Not only does the F-117 not fight other aircraft it lacks any defensive armaments other than its stealth and electronic warfare capabilities.
The F-117 got its destination from the Red Hat's. The Red Hat's are the 4 large hangers at the North end of the base. They're called the Red Hat's because this is where americans reversed engineer alien technology, meaning Russian technology.
12 years old .1973 . Spokane Washington. 4th of July. Tri wing folker for sale 50 thousand. NEVER wanted to be wealthy in my life .. Evan today....more than that day. 50 years later, remember it like yesterday. What would it cost today? 3 million? 5 ? More????
On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a Yugoslav Army unit shot down an F-117 by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile from 1961 . ROFLOL yeah so good to invade 3rd world country that fight back with sticks and stones
You do know that the biggest reasons it was shot down was because it flew the same route everyday so they knew it was coming and one of it's weapons bay doors got stuck open which ruined it's stealth. Those two things as well as some incredible luck for the Yugoslavia army is why it got shot down. Getting shot down only once in all the sorties the F-117 has flown is an incredible record. The F-117 was a great fighter/bomber and worked as advertised. Flew through Bagdah over and over again without getting a scratch during a time when it was probably the most well defended city in the world is astounding.
It's interesting to see different perspectives on fighter jet choices. While the F-15 and F-16 have impressive reputations as fighters, the inclusion of the F-117 in the list offers a unique and intriguing aspect. Each aircraft has its own strengths and capabilities, and the F-117's stealth technology played a significant role in its operational success. It's important to appreciate the diversity and advancements in military aviation. 🛩🔥🔝
"Still say the warthog was the best at take a beating protecting ground troops and being able to get back afterward." This is the closest to words words I remember my dad saying. He only talked about Vietnam later in life and now his dementia (agent orange induced) won't let him tell me stories anymore. He enjoys watching these videos so I cast them on the TV for him. I think I remember him saying they could fly home or limp home with half a wing blown off. I know they saved the lives of him and his fellow troops more than once. He wasn't happy when they started decommissioning them and replacing them with the F-16s. My info could be wrong because when I look it up now it says they are being replaced by the F-35 but maybe it changed from the F-16 to the F-35s because they are replacing the F-16s with the F-35. The F-16 or F-35 might be adequate or better planes but I understand why he feels the way he does. He could definitely also be right. I didn't ever disagree with him because I wasn't necessary and I don't have the knowledge. Even if I had the knowledge I wouldn't disagree with him because again it would be unnecessary. Anyway, I don't know why but I just wanted to comment for him. I don't know if anything that I am talking about was even mentioned in the video. The video just brought to mind what he had told me before about the A-10 warthogs.
Typical British documentary. Talks about all these amazing achievements in technology and doesn't give credit to anyone but themselves even when they had nothing to do with the design or manufacturing
They should’ve gave that door gunner the opportunity to do his thing!.. They were just messing with ole boi by having him up in his spot and not giving him a few rounds to touch off real quick. But still letting the pilot have his fun. I actually kinda feel bad for him,!.. Cuz you know that would’ve made his month too. I probably would’ve gone home a bit butt puckered honesty. 🤷🏻♂️😁
hahahah yeah but it had the Mig 21 on it and 3rd can you believe that? It's a wack list. Mig 21 doesn't belong on a list of the top 20. The F-15 should come in 2nd and the F-16 should come in ahead of the F-18. Well it is whoever made the video list, not ours. This is a pretty old list I think.
I miss Tom Clancy, he was from my home state of Maryland, and his books were incredible, the movies? Only 2 of them were really good, Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games. This must be a old top 10 because Tom Clancy passed away some years now.
Why isn't the F-15 or F-16 on here instead of the F-117? Their reputations as actual fighters are way better, and they didn't have to include the "F" prefix just to keep pilots from being embarrassed for flying them. ...
The only undefeated fighter in history with a record of 104-0 doesn't warrant a spot in the top 10 list? Really? The F-15 has been in service almost 5 decades, has seen combat in every theater and has adapted to every role including the same precision bombing that the F-117 is (only) capable of. Did the Brits make a donation to get the slow, excessively loud Harrier on the list? Yes, it hovers...for no more than 30 seconds before the engines eat themselves and it falls faster than it can fly. I can list 5 planes that should be here and back them up with statistics, not propaganda. For instance, the F6F Hellcat had a K/D of 18:1 and outclassed the A6M in every respect. The Yak 9 was also a better plane as was the Lavochkin LA-7. Very disappointing.
if I had the money to buy a Bell Jet ranger. I would tell Bell the only way I am buying this brand new today is if you contact the CIA and get the blueprints for Airwolf. and if you build me an airwolf. Im all in
🛩🔥🤔 It's intriguing to explore the choices made in this list of the top fighter jets. While the F-15 and F-16 have indeed established themselves as formidable fighters, it's important to note that different aircraft serve different purposes and have unique features. The F-117, despite its unconventional design, played a significant role in stealth operations. The inclusion of the "F" prefix was a deliberate measure to maintain secrecy rather than reflect embarrassment. Fighter rankings can be subjective, and it's fascinating to delve into the reasoning behind each selection. Let's continue discussing and celebrating the remarkable advancements in aviation technology! ✈🌟💬
You dont have the F-16 or F-15 on here, therefore this list is B.S. The F-15 is 104-0 in air to air engagements. Not only should it be on any list of greatest fighter planes, its arguably #1.
You let your patriotism make the better of you. The Spit could easily outclimb, outaccelerate, and outmaneuver the Mustang. The Mustang was a great fighter, but it was great because it had the range the Spitfire lacked, Face to face I know which one I, and almost any other pilot, would rather be in.
Technical wise, under the US framework it's a fighter, hence the F prefix lol, otherwise it would be a B117 lol, but thanks for the somewhat uneducated input haha, guess you know more than the Mili that actually field it
The P57 Mustang only became the beast it was when they married the the Rolls Royce Merlin Engine, that gave it the the last item to make this the Best Plane in the 🌍Pity the Hawker Hurricane Aircraft also part of the BBMF, 1 thing the difference between the Superior Spitfire & the Hawker Hurricane is the Hurricane was wrapped in Traditional Irish Linen, were Spitfire Metal, the Hurricane could take more damage, its taken me this long writing i m @ no plane the Mustang only became the beast it was when

Why A?

'Allowed' = type rated. You don't just get 'allowed' to fly an aircraft 😊
BF 109 had a cannon through the engine block? 😮 That just blew my mind abit 🤯
I love the door gunners face when he gets back in a Huey. That’s genuine happiness right there ❤
I saw a Harrier at the El Toro airbase in 1990. I agree with Tom Clancy: it was by far the noisiest jet at the air show. It was painfully loud.
I've said the same since seeing one at Patrick AFB, FL in 90, outrageously loud!! I still marvel at watching a C-131 on landing, looks like it will fall out of the sky.

Concorde. Now that was crazy loud.
@@hjr2000 I wish I had got to hear it!
The f117 could carry the aim 9M sidewinder iirc but thats it for air to air
The armor-piercing round used to shoot the scraper was loaded with stripper clips, so it can't be an AK47. Assuming it was the same 7.62x39mm round, it's likely an SKS
I knew from the beginning that the Huey would be number one, but I also love the llama
I'm a big Tom Clancy fan, I love movies that's based off his books and the video games like the Ghost Recon franchise.
My biological father worked on the F-117 at Groom Lake.
The whole show starts off wrong. F-117 is not a fighter. It is a bomber or close air support stealth aircraft. Fighters by definition fight other aircraft. Not only does the F-117 not fight other aircraft it lacks any defensive armaments other than its stealth and electronic warfare capabilities.
Yeah it's a fighter that's why it has the F for fighter in F-117, if it was considered a bomber it would be B-117
Thanks for sharing 😊
Saber is one off a kind good plane off that TYME and it was like a Saber totally.
The Japanese bombed Americans in Pearl Harbor using Japanese Mitsubishis, now Japan sells the Americans there cars made by Mitsubishi.
Yay for the P-51 Mustang with the Merlin engine. I will probably die before I ever get to fly in one. Well, that's life. 😓

Yes but it has the the F as in fighter designation instead of the B for bomber.
@@pinkyellowblue007 Still NOT a fighter it's only ever been used to drop bombs and NOTHING else !

The DR1 actually has 5 wings not 3 top is one wing middle is wing fuselage wing and bottom is wing fuselage wing as well
The b117 is a bomber. Why call it the stealth fighter? Doesnt have air to air capabilities.

The F-18 is a great close air support jet, I loved hearing it coming because I knew the enemy were dead quickly and we could go on about our mission.
