MILNET: World Fighter Database
Note: In the listing below, we have links to the U.S. military fact file pages that contain data on selected aircraft. We will try to keep these links current, however, we spend far too much time on that activity, and therefore you may find a link broken as the services move their "stuff" around. We also should note that we used other sources for information than the official military info posted online, so data may vary from our presentation and that found in the official pages - MILNET, April, 1998.
