I'm trying to make a fair poll in relation to era and type of aircraft and decided 47-57 ( in service)with no all weather interceptors as that was a different breed, I hope I didn`t miss anything

it never was in service and its would of, could of, should ofI'm not that into this type of stuff but I'd just like to point out, the Avro Arrow, even if she wasn't in service she deserves to be on that list! Come on your Canadian you should make a small exception for such a awesome aircraftplease!
That just got a permanent dunce cap. We warned you your time was short. Next time pull your dictionary out of your butt...What the #%$@! Why isn't the @%$*$ Folland Gnat on the $@$* poll? Joe will be so #@$%!@ disappointed! Other than that major #$%@^ - $%, you have a good idea here Pbfoot. I promise not to "Sabre Dance" with Joe here, even though we are such a cute couple on the dance floor.
I'm wrong on that the Mig 19 should be included .I also opted for Grumman Tiger with a 2nd place for the Sabre or Mig 17F-100. The Hunter is a good second. Both were multi-role capable and were able to hold their own in the air. Should the MiG-19 been there?
Both are All weather interceptors which was a very different class of fighter at that point in time besides the 106 did not enter service until later. 1947-57 and in service . If I was to include AW Interceptors the list woulbe very lengthy . Meteor, F89,F94,F102, Cf100 to name a few. Most interceptors were a 2 man crew because the AI radarWhat about the F102 Delta Dagger? Should it be on this list as well? Served into the mid 70's.
Also forgot about the F106 Delta dart too.
It was an all wethaer interceptor, like the F86d ,Yak 25,The F-101 deserves to be on there too, it makes the timeline, barely. Thou it was never used as a fighter, it was origionally designed as a long range escort fighter.
Maybe the F-102 also, makes the timeline, but was designed as a interceptor, but was used as a interceptor in Vietnam, but also saw some use in the fighter role over the Ho-Chi Minh trail.
what about adding a Hawker Sea Fury to your list,they were quick enough to shoot down Mig 15's
