There can be only ONE! Highlander!
Got to be the one and only SR-71! Pictured here with pure research birds..
...Closely followed by the F-106, which set some single engine speed records that still stand today, although the Russians would disagree!

Semper in excretum. Solum profunda variat.
Here's my choice.
Present-Day:
1. F-22A Raptor
2. F-35C Lightning 2
3. F-35A Lightning 2
4. A-10C Thunderbolt 2
5. B-1B Lancer
Retired/Canceled:
1. XB-70 Valkyrie
2. SR-71 Blackbird
3. F-14D Super Tomcat
4. F-117 Nighthawk
5. F-86F Sabre
The BONE, XB-70, Blackbird and Nighthawk are not fighters, but then, the A-10 is no fighter either.
f-15 eagle and f-20 tigershark... (US made not really ever deployed by anyone f-5 is a great fighter and the 20 is a nice improvement on it.)

VarSity, its kinda funny that you said that! My little brother was in Iraq for a few years and he always told me that when ever he saw the A-10 flying low, it scared the crap out of him just because he has saw what it can do!
He has told me stories of when they called in air-strikes and when the enemy sees it from a distance, "They run and hide", while their equipment and and troops get destroyed.
Mmmhh.. The only yank fighter that I found vaguely sexy was the F14. I'm sorry to my American cousins but your planes just got no soul baby!

F-117 Nighthawk
- must be something about the black paint .
The F-14 by far. With its swing wings, and sexy style. Its Phoenix missiles more than made something look good. Its huge speed, and ability to take of a ship, with such a powerful radar. Its also the only one that looks good.
Grand Admiral Thrawn
1. F-108 Rapier...yes I know it never flew...but DAMN!!
2. F-22A...air dominance has never looked so good
3. YF-23...to bad there could be only one:(
