Best Looking Jet Fighter of all time?

[kach22i]

My vote goes to the Douglas Skyray.

Despite all that, Rahn called the machine a "fighter pilot's dream", the best machine he had taken into the sky since flying the Spitfire. Its instability made it supremely agile for a skilled pilot, and Rahn claimed that he out-flew every Air Force chase plane sent up with him. Marine Major Marion Carl, one of the top test pilots of the era, flew the Skyray and claimed: "If we had this airplane now in Korea, I could just pop off the MiGs -- one, two, three."

F-14 Tomcat gets my vote. Must be that damn Top Gun bias

I do favor the look of a twin engine twin tail design in general. Also really weird experimental stuff floats my boat.

I'm an F-4 guy - both the WW2 Corsair and the Phantom.

The two best paint jobs were when it first came out in the aircraft magazines. The Red, White & Blue scheme and the desert camouflage of pale blue and tan.

The Skyray looks good.

I've always liked the Vampire...



and the Sea Vixen...



I still think that there are much better looking piston engined fighters than any jet will ever manage.

I have to vote for the F-14. What a unique, beautiful shape, built for speed. I've loved it since I was a kid and read about how one of the first two prototypes skidded off a carrier and had to be recovered, one step ahead of the Soviets in 1972.

Easy one! From a sheer beauty standpoint...



F-86!!!!

[kach22i]

The F-86D was all messed up in the looks department.

[Joeaksa]

Thats why I did not post pictures of a -D model!

Agree with you and do not like that model at all.

F-5E





F-20

I'm propbably going to get flamed for this,

Okay, not the nicest people flying them but it is a darn good looking airplane:

[JTO]

I failed to see the "jet" part of "best looking fighter". Sorry.

Now that is out of the way, I agree with Sammy; the F5 is very sexy in a female sorta of way, not intimidating like the F14/F15.
Thanks,
Troy

i kinda like this one.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Always liked the F104. . .
