In reply top Jet question posted by Rob Rohr on Sat Feb 15, 2003 10:26:57 PM

Wouldn't the Me-262 be as important, not because of the numbers built, but because it became operational so long ago, and had a relatively good success?

What about the F-16?
What about the F-5?

These have been built and sold to many countries, and have been used for many years now.

I would easily include the T-33 / TV-2 family, for their extended life-span, and for having helped to introduce many pilots world-wide, to jet flying.

If we go for impact, then the MiG-15 should be included, given the shock that its initial combat performance caused on the US forces in Korea, and overall in all the airforces of the world.
