Man what ever happened to the Sea Harrier Fa.2 and Sea Harrier FRS.1? Those are true fighters.

Withdrawal of funding and creationg of a joint RAF/RN "Joint Harrier Force" using GR7/9.

Why can't the JSF use a ski jump?

I expect it can, but I'm unsure as to whether it could perform the rolling VTO as performed by the Harrier on small carriers. That's why the UK is having to build new carriers.

Because it has weak front suspension

Basically what everyone hails as a new concept has been tried already in the late 80s

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

First of all;

Forget 'dating quickly', it was NEVER contemporary!

second, does this poll include fighter-bombers of previous eras - such as WW2 or cold-war?

If not, the Eurofighter. If so, the Spitfire
