Joint exercises in Europe, that's an American F-15, British F-35, and French Rafale.

After 45 years the F-15 is still the prettiest of the lot, especially compared to Stubby Stealthy and Monsieur Refueling Probe.

That prettiness has allowed it to be the fastest fighter with the least amount of power. The other two that are faster are ugly and have huge amounts of power and huge amounts of problems. In the end, the F-15 can do mission generation very high and numbers do count.

Even without the fancy paint job, the F-16 is by far the sexiest jet fighter ever made.

And some idiot in a Honda will try and cut them off.
