Top 7 Badass Planes of the US Military

There is little in the world that can match the simultaneous awesomeness and mystery of a Badass Plane. These are the paragon of modern innovation, yet largely pass invisibly above us. They decide battles and wars, yet only a few lucky soldiers get to see them. Blah blah blah words. Let's look at some incredible machinery.
Here is The Top 7 Badass Planes of the U.S. MILITARY

Actually something new I learned today about the F-35 is that the helmets the pilots wear permit them to see all their surroundings in infrared even through the aircraft where there is no glass; almost like x-ray vision. I found that cool because that's what allows the pilots to have such advanced awareness of the battlefield, and being able to see even through the aircraft where there isn't glass. Goes to show how advanced and sophisticated the F-35 is. My favorite fighter jet by far 🤩

[@ubon11]

I’m a 30 year airman. There are so many planes that I find fascinating. But the most excited I’ve ever been seeing an aircraft was the B-2. First time I saw one, I had just landed on a C-130 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. It was about 1400, no clouds in the sky, just a gorgeous 80 degree day in paradise. Also, since I was still on the flightline waiting for a ride off the airfield, I had a perfect up close view. Then I seen it, coming around to land. It was so amazing seeing that flying wing for the first time. In 2nd place? I was at Hurlburt Field years later and I seen a package of 4 CV-22’s flying along the beach. That is an amazing looking aircraft, no doubt! B-1’s are amazing, too. At an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, a B-1 doing a low level pass, setting off a bunch of car alarms on the ground, that was something else!

I grew up almost exactly between two airforce bases so seeing planes going from one to the other wasn't rare. Looked up or morning and saw two B1s refueling overhead. Saw a B52 doing a below the radar flight outside town one day low enough that it looked like they were lucky that there's only 7 trees in the entire state. (I know they were high enough to clear any trees. But from the right distance it looks lower than it really is) But the coolest one was out in southwest South Dakota on a state highway that cut through a deep S shaped valley. From above this would look like taking a dollar sign ($) and turning the line that bisects the S 90°. I was on the downhill side of the valley and a B52 banked left to cross over the road right in front of me then banked right following the valley and vanished. I was probably doing near 100mph (that part of the state has more gophers than people so it's very lightly patrolled) and it briefly felt like i wasn't moving.

I got to work on some of those aircraft while in service and enjoyed the experience and their destructive power. The enemy forces who was in the area where the A-10 Thunderbolt was called in must have feared them and their firepower. The enemy didn't want to see the B-52H model coming either as they can carry so many different types of weapons and can wipe out targets and anything close to them quickly and efficiently too. The C-130's are another type of airplane which can be used for many uses and is still destructive to the enemy's troops on the ground and and deliver supplies for the forces.

[@Damocles54]

At Ft. Leonard Wood all of the firing ranges are arranged around a couple small mountains. Between them is apparently another used by the Air Force. One day a couple of A10s rolled in hot above us and even when it's not pointed at you the sound of that gun is just visceral. I'm glad it's on our side

[@daleemrick9816]

Yep the c-130s also been used as a refueler

Is very good arse. No they is no way badd ass. Is really good ass Is a mayzing arses Defecates so good Bresking wind blowing off gases.

[@matthewjurak7445]

A great list! I would argue for the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, or 'Habu,' to be on it ⬛👹, one of the finest aircraft ever built.

[@robertbrazier5097]

I freaking love the B-1

[@oliveryeung6265]

New technology makes everything possible, the one which let pilots looking through the aircraft is amazing. This could maximized vision while pilots are driving.

[@riteousrighthand6144]

B-1 is a sexy bird, man! Had an Airshow at SJAFB one year, and my F-15E was picked to be a static display(mine was the freshest paint job in the squadron, at the time). You know the B-1 is quite large. You can tell, even from it's still photos, but.... Man, oh man, was I NOT prepared to see this thing up close and in person. They parked one to the left of me, and i couldn't believe it, it looked like my whole plane would fit snugly inside one of the B-1s augmenters. Fucking crazy.

[@sonycans]

When I saw the number one, I simply laughed however you made a terrific point of its capabilities and its versatility I can see why it is "bad-assed". From another angle, the term "bad-assed" is very much subject to interpretation which maybe why many people like myself would have chuckled at it.

[@garrettord3304]

I was pleasantly surprised to see the A-10 at #1, but really there's no other choice in a list of the most "badass" planes.

[@UncleDonDon]

A-10's are cool and all but, SR-71 ? F-117 ? F-18 ? B-2 ? F-16 ? F-14 ?

[@petermcardle2031]

Totally Agree.

[@danlewis3185]

I'm pissed that the Tomcats wernt on the list. My favourite plane of all time.

[@elvismen]

The problems with the A10, never try to cross a airdefense like the Russian S400, hell not even the S200, then and only then i can say it's a good plane, but against iraq or afghanistan, a P-51 can do the job.

[@krikerb]

@@elvismen If we are going that old might as well use my favorite aircraft of all time the P-47 thunderbolt, sounds familiar because the A-10 thunderbolt II replaced the P-47.

[@user-bi3cn2oo9d]

The SR-71 is perfection

[@martinmwitila4616]

I like how he described the a10, the plane with a big gun 😂

[@ambitionz5625]

I dont know how this doesnt have the SR71 blackbird the fastest and most badass looking jet by far. Also the B-2 should be up here it looks so unique and cool

[@HIPLhomeopathy]

Dude!! Where the hell is the SR-71 Blackbird??!! The greatest plane ever made imo!!

[@stefanschleps8758]

But it didn't have a combat roll. Thats what this is about. Badass threats to the enemies of the USA.

[@hendrafour7824]

It literally allowed the us to know soviets army positions almost as well as the soviet, if thats not a badass threat, i dont know what is

[@tj_2701]

It's retired so would not be on the list anyways lol

[@joshuarankin4238]

When I saw the A-10 at number one It made my day. Words can’t describe how much I love that plane

[@_MiSt3rS_]

A Word can BRRRRRRTTTTT

[@lakepirate1907]

I was ready to come unglued. When we got to #8 and still no Warthog I needed a Valium. I was just ready to quit but.. I pressed on. When the herc got #9 it looked like we were closing with the bigger transports or one of the raptor love children. Imagine my sheer ecstatic joy when the A10 was #1. I woke my wife up with my YEAH!! Anyway, gotta go to bed. Thanks for the respect. This old girl deserves it and is constantly over-looked. Felt great. I’m ecstatic. I’m going out in a high note if I can just avoid the damn news until I fall asleep. 👍😁

[@chriscubbernuss3288]

I liked the part where the airplane went "BRRRTTT!!!"

[@fastfiddler1625]

I just worked with a former A-10A pilot. He was telling a story about a guy he worked with who had transitioned from the F-16. When you're flying strike from a supersonic platform vs down and dirty close air support, you don't hear 19 year olds screaming on the radio for help. It's things like that that I think solidify the A-10's value on the battlefield.

[@chinchin4618]

Tbh, I think A-10 warthog and F-22 raptor, both are unmatched. It would be amazing to see F-22 in a real war scenario, going toe to toe with other advanced aircrafts like Eurofighter Typhoon.

[@unconfusedconfusion2971]

I swear it’s one of those planes where your love it for looking so good but then hate it for looking so ugly but then love it again because it’s so badass. (B1 lancer)

[@DrHogfan]

A10's usedto be stationed in Ft.Smith,Ark. I was playing golf one time and they were flying overhead and one of the guys I was playing with called the A10 instant death.

[@candydeebe2725]

[@henrygriffiths3211]

My dad flew the F-35 in its testing stage and then from Texas to California. It’s such a cool plane if you get to see it up close like I have.

[@mjlejer3241]

As a GA pilot for many years, I am still in awe seeing some of our great aircraft, and what I wouldn't give to be able to fly one of those! If I had it all over to do again, I would have probably joined the U.S. Air Force so I could! Sure, it can be a dangerous job but in a few years, drones will replace military pilots and it will be a new game in the air! But there will ALWAYS be jobs for pilots somewhere!
