Default Favorite Cold War era fighter

For aviation enthusiasts like me, and want to walk into 20th Century history road of military aviation, tell me your favorite Cold War (1945-1990) era fighter.

My favorite's the F-15C Eagle.

its not a fighter, but I like the TU-22M Backfire. F-15C had a good reputation during the cold war. When Israeli Air Force with F-15C meet the Syrian Air Force during the war in 1982. I prefer the F-15E rather than the F-15C. The Flanker family is a nice looking aircraft, indeed it is. What I know, they have never meet in wartime situations. F-15s have meet MIG-29 Fulcrum, but after 1990 so that will not count here and now.

take care

And here is another Cold War fighter, one that is still in service with third world nations (and half-jokingly, a common fighter aircraft in the air arsenals of rogue nations led by crackpot dictators).

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed.

The F-4 Phantom II. A potent symbol of Cold War aviation, it has seen action in Vietnam, Yom Kippur and Iran/Iraq wars. Some air forces still operate them today.

A total of 5095 Rhinos were built by McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis, MO, plus another 138 under license by Mitsubishi.


Israeli Air Force F-4E Phantom II (Kurnass)

United States Navy F-4J Phantom II, VF-92 "Silver Kings"

Royal Navy FG.1 Phantom

JASDF F-4EJ Phantom II

What do you think?
