Hunter, first, second and last, however you want to measure it.
Look at its longevity, payload, performance, firepower, versitility. Its operating costs (a lot of countries purchased them with their own money, not MAP handouts), add safety record and its a no brainer.
Plus of course, this is a totally unbiased view as they are the only fast jet that I have flown in.
I don't care about the four listed, English Electric Lightning would whoop them all in a dogfight and intercept. It pulls the stick back and shoves the throttle forward ...and all the others are left in it's reheat.
The Mig-15 was about as good as the Sabre. I think the Sabre was the best.
Watched an interesting documentary on the dogfights between the Mig-15s and the Sabres in the Korean War. Most of the Mig-15s were flown by Russian Pilots. They were interviewing both Russian Mig pilots and US Sabre Pilots.
Both talked very highly of the Mig-15s and the Sabre pilots actually gave the edge to the Mig-15.
Overall though and for it its impact I go with the Sabre.
