How did way more people get the F-117 compared to the F-8? This is so confusing.

Please add to this. The entire century series (F100 - f106), F-111 could be included as well as a few others that preceded the century jets ... F80, F94,F7U, F8 etc.

yeah this list is pretty incomplete, I'll do my best to update it when I can

I should also probably remove the YF-23 as well

No it's not meant to be that easy, but there are other holes in this quiz, I'll fix

Each airplane is known by different names. This quiz needs to take into account the variability. eg. F18 hornet can be more accurately named F/A 18 Hornet or F/A 18 Super Hornet. F-16 Fighting Falcon ... not Viper. Not a well thought-out quiz.

said by other users, this quiz is too specific and incorrect, the f5 is just the f5 tiger, the tigershark nickname belongs to the f20 tigershark designation
