F15 Eagle is hands down but the F22 Raptor is about to be the new UNTOUCHABLE fighter for the next 50 years! USA

Its apples and oranges. F15E is a fighter, the A10 is an attack aircraft used for close air support and killing tanks. The F15E is a much better fighter than an A10 will ever be. BUT I'm in currently in Afghanistan and love to see A10s coming to help us out. How many tanks and armored personnel carriers did A10s kill in Desert Storm? Its like comparing a Pit Bull and a Lab. Which one is better? Both? Just depends on your point of referance.

I don't know what people do that either.  If you don't know the answer, don't write something just to get points....this ain't no contest!!!\n\nUS, UK, France, Brazil, Russia, India, Japan.\n\nThe only nations to have used or are using fixed wing aircraft on carriers.\n\nBut I would eliminate Brazil, since they just bought the old French carrier "Foch", they didn't build it themselves.  Ditto the Indians.\n\nSo, that leaves the US, UK, France, Russia as the only current nations to employ carrier based fixed wing aircraft.

I would choose the American military forces due to the fact that they are the gold standard. They are the best equipped (regardless of what the Democrats will tell you) and one of the best trained.\nI would want the Israeli Special Forces due to their experience, nad the fact that they are the best at their job.\nI would also want the former Soviet Union Spetznaz forces for their training toughness and undercover capabilities, which were the best in the world.

My favorite animal is the falcon. It can fly and is free. It is also really fast. And it is strong too. IT's also the official animal of the Us Air Force, which I am going to join.

M1Abrams, Challenger, L'Clair (sp), T-90S, Merkava Mk 4.....I'd say the latest model of Leopard II Main Battle Tank.\n\nAbrams are fast, T-90s and Leclerc are faster. Merkava 3&4 are faster offroad.\n\nAll modern tanks can hit moving targets while they're moving. Leclerc and Merkava4 can do it even better through FCS-integrated autotracker and T-90 even much better through bore-launched ATGMs.\n\nGerman Rh120mm/L55 tungsten, israeli-improved 120mm GIAT tungsten and russian 125mm BM-44 U-Ni-Zn-alloy rounds have the same power through higher velocity (1750-1800 m/s instead of Abrams 1650 m/s)\n\nAnd in HEAT-rounds soviets always led anyway, their new tandem charge HEAT-round with DU-liner has 800mm RHA-penetration.\n\nI think, what gives me the choice of Leopard, besides the german history of good tank design, is their ability to deploy infra-decoys and smoke screens to hide from enemy tanks and heat seeking missiles.

I am going to go with the Bald Eagle.\n\n For one I have seen them in person and their wing span is unimaginably huge! They could shadow you entirely. Secondly, I like the fact that when they choose a mate, it is the same mate for life. Not to mention that they pluck all their feathers out each molding time and are very, very vulnerable until their feathers come in again. \nThey are regal birds and have a commanding presence.

The F/A-18 Hornet.\n\nHere's a good site for references.  I don't agree with all of their posititions, but they do do thier homework on weapon systems:\nhttp://www.fas.org\n\nAlso:\nhttp://www.navy.mil

Kinda depends ob what airplane your'e talking about.\nCessna, Airbus, Boeing, F-14?

Duh, the Navy.  The F-14 (now decompt) pilots were considered the best of the best.  Now we (the Navy) have the F18 E/Fs which are pretty bad A**.  I think we could spank them.

Most modern military fighter aircraft can go almost any climb rate. You would need to specify a specific aircraft for me to better assist you.

Well to be honest, probably diesel mechanic would be your best choice.  The aircraft mechanic field will offer you a lot of excitement and a better chance of traveling though.  \n\nThe market for the aircraft mechanic is much smaller than the vehicle mechanic.  A lot of the jobs (parts repair jobs), are being out sourced to Mexico.  You will always need a line mechanic  to fix the plane but you can send your parts   elsewhere to rebuild them.  As a diesel mechanic you can find a position just about anywhere!  With aviation you are limited to the major hubs until you build up seniority.  \n\nTell you what, do the Crew Chief thing and get your A&P license.  Then while your still in find a local diesel mechanics school, use your G.I. Bill (around 40G now), and after you seperate or retire you can do that and then move into a middle management position.  \n\nIn the AF after about 10 to 12 years you really aren't physically working that much anymore, mainly supervising and controlling maintenance.  I always recommend that you get out there and continue to get your hands dirty from time to time when your in a supervisory or a management position.  Your troops will respect you more for it.

As with any "what is the best" it depends what you want to do.\n\nIf you just want to punch holes in things and you aren't bothered by what the holes do then a 223/5.56x45 will be cheaper to feed than any of the alternatives. The most common of those is the AR-15 and it's many clones... of which I have four.\n\nThe G36 is certainly a more modern and a better design than the AR-15. Sorry to all the old soldiers out there, but it's not a 'great' design, it just works OK.\n\nYou might like to take a look at a Sig556 too. \n\nIf you want to make more noise and have a round that will stop deer reliably then have a look at a 7.62,  the FN-FAL is the world favorite quality 7.62x51 battle rifle, the Sig550 and the Galil (I forget the variant today) are also very good. \n\nI'd go with H&K or Sig.

i'de have to say flanker because you are like the outside linebacker in football you are the first one out of the scrum and looking for that first tackle.  it is usually the best combination of size, athaletic ability, agressiveness, and meanness.  i played prop and flanker and second row and an occasional hooker.  hooker sucks because contrary to somebodies opinion your fists are behind your prop's back and have nothing to protect yourself with if the scrum does collapse which you will be on the bottom of head first.

The F-22 beat out the F-23. All the other numbers a prototypes of jets that never got the ok on.

Although Duran is among my favorites, I would personally rate Julio Cesar Chavez as the best.\n\nIf you're looking for current fighters along the lines of Duran, though, you may also want to check out Jorge Arce and Juan Diaz. I don't think any of their fights would disappoint you. ;D
