Fun fact: WWI aircraft engines used Castor oil for lubrication. Pilots had chronic diarrhea from the fumes.

F-15 Eagle - 105/0 win ratio.
I considered the F-22 Raptor, but its potential reliability issues and unnecessary stealth don't overcome the pure, proven dog fighting ability of the F-15.

If only it were available earlier.
I'd struggle between Spad XIII and the Sopwith Camel, based on my 8 year old self's hours and hours of playing The Red Baron PC game from the mid 90s.

Sopwith Camel because that is what the famed World War I flying ace Snoopy flew to battle the bloody Red Baron.

It was Australian ground fire that killed the Baron anyway.

Those planes flew much farther than I thought.
