Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker" and its clones (like Su-30 and especially S-37 / Su-47).

B1-B is like double our f-111, i always thought half a dozen or so would make a great replacement for our entire RAAF fleet. The beeachcraft is a late 80's early 90's expirement that never really took off. at the time the italians had a similar design, the
Piaggio Avanti here is the latest Model,

B1-B just missed my list, just as the Su-27 thru Su-37 series of
fighters did. They certainly would have made it, if it were a
military aircraft only list.

True, true. I think the mistake came from having two googled
images of the Concorde, one from France and one from the UK, and I
mixed the two up...
C'mon, we all know the perils of blogging!

My original intention was to include all aircraft. It was just
that I didn't think anyone would actually have that "I'll take a
classic car over a Ferrari anyday!" sensibilities when it came to
aircraft!
To each his own!

Strange, but I don't remember the Spitfire as being a jet aircraft? Just shows how much I know about propeller driven fighters with piston engines from WWII!

Yes you did ask for jet aircrafts, but I was referring to the topic, " Top 5 prettiest aircraft", hence why included the Spitfire.

Arrgh! The Messerschmitt Me 163 Comet is rocket propelled!
