Just give me the list ain't gonna sit thru 40 mins of this

1. North American P-51 Mustang
2. Supermarine Spitfire
3. Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21
4. McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
5. Messerschmitt Bf 109
6. North American F-86 Sabre
7. Harrier Jump Jet
8. Mitsubishi A6M Zero
9. Fokker Dr.I (Red Baron)
10. F-117 Nighthawk

Not gonna debate on the Rankings, but how did the F-18 Hornet beat out the F-15SE?

Just because it lands on an Aircraft Carrier. The Tomcat did that too & was a bigger #Legend (in my opinion).

Clearly this show aired well over a decade back, but I personally think the list is flawed.

I will say the P-51 (Mustang) was a bad@$$ plane.

Did they explain why they included F-18 and F-117, but not F-15 and F-16?

Well, they did.
Sort of random picking.
