Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite Jet Fighters:

This is my favorite. They were huge and unbelievably fast low level. Not a true fighter but in it's day touted as the fastest fighter at sea level and the largest single seat single engine fighter ever built. Their J-75 engine had a singe stage after burner and when it lit off you could hear it miles away. F-100s used to come thought Myrtle Beach AFB on a regular basis. I was fortunate to have a [bleep] supervisor that had been a crew chief on them so I got proficient on them. If you didn't know the trick to installing a drag chute on a Hun it was a fight. The F-4s were the Sierra Hotel fighters in my active duty days. IMO the best looking jet fighter was the F-106.
