JohnHuntAmazing France and England are even on it since they can't maintain Libyan ops without USA support.

surestrikeInformative yet...
It's got some blaring mistakes.
It's a P-51 not a P-52.
The SR-71 and the F-4 have been retired from US service for some years now.
How can they make the statement that Russia has the "best" pilots. Based on what metric?
The last time I checked you didn't want to get into a visual "knife" fight with an Israeli fighter pilot. And you didn't want to play BVR missile games with U.S. F-15 guys. You didn't want to play how low and fast can you go with the Brits or Germans or the French. So exactly what are the Russians best at? I am just asking because I don't know.

Grizzly AdamsWhat means "russian airforce has one the best pilots in the world" ?

Shows the Backfire bomber, not exactly a picture of success.

You've got to wonder how they came up with these placings. The Japs haven't fought any combat actions, since 1945 and they lost the one, prior.

George SemelA better list would be Combat Effectiveness. When did the Swedes last fly Combat? I agree, England let the RAF go to seed, and well the French between the two they can take care of libya with out a major effort from the United States. I seen this one before, look like some kid was having some fun with video editing.
