Fighters of the US Armed Forces

What better site to create than one about a favourite topic of mine?

This site is a database based on nine fighter planes in the US Armed Forces and one NATO plane. There are many different contracting companies producing a variety of planes representing each division of the US Armed Forces. Whether it be the Navy, the Marines, or the Air Force supporting the Army, each division has a variety of unique aircraft.

You will find comparisons of plane-based statistics such as max velocity, weight, arms, radar, etc. in comparitive tables on the main page, as well as individual information and a little history on each plane. Just hit "go!" to jump right to the details about a particular aircraft. I have tried to obtain the most up to date information from a variety of current sources. Of course some numbers may not be exact but everything has been checked. Much, but not all, of the info contained here you will find on the internet somewhere. There are a countless number of sites on the web based on similar topics and I suggest for further reading, you check them out!

Many of the pictures on this web site have been selected as the best from my personal collection. I have left most in their original format and size for those that have high res monitors and really want to see a nice image. Just click on the smaller pictures to see the original. Simple!

Throughout these pages, you can just click on the fighter plane to the left to find information on that plane!
