What's everybody's favorite plane, paint scheme for that plane, ace that flies that plane and weapon for that plane. No fictional aircraft, although spin-offs like the F-22B are allowed
Example:
Plane: F-15C
Pilot: Solo Wing
Paint Scheme: ISAF regular
Weapon: XMAA4
Why?: The F-15C not only possesses powerful anti-air and anti-ground weaponry (depending on the game) but also provides the kind of payload, durability, speed, firepower, turning radius, maneuverability and performance that you will not find in combination in any other plane from the F-5 to the CFA-44. Truly, the beauty of the F-15 is not that it excels in one of these traits, but is all around good in all of them. The F-22 may be able to turn quicker, but will stall out far sooner than the F-15. The Mig-25 may fly faster, carry better weapons and be more rugged, but I think we all know it can't outperform the classic F-15C. What I'm getting at, is that the F-15C is an outstanding aircraft and while other aircraft can be strong in some areas but weak in others, the F-15C has no weaknesses and can exploit those of others.
