Well, as the thread starter, I have to admit I had alternative motives for the question. I was attemting to determine if Canada might be better off ordering EF-2000's rather than F-35A's as replacements for our Hornets, given our domestic requirements for fighter aircraft. You are quite right though, several aircraft: Grippen, Rafale, F-15SG, Su-30, F/A-18E/F, F-16E/F, could be added to the list. Although realistically I think only the EF-2000, F-35A, F-15SG, and Su-30 would contend for the title of second-best air-to-air fighter.
EDIT: I would not put Su-35 on the list, as there are what, less than 10 in actual service?
