World's most mass produced aircrafts

[untitled]

not to mention F-5

the direct answer for Soviet's MiG-21

That honour would go to the F-104 not the F-5 as F-104 was also a MACH 2+ aircraft

As for the F-5 I think about ~3000 of them were built if you include T-38 and Canadian versions

Why is the MiG-15 nicknamed 'Fagot' by NATO? Was it meant to be an insult?

Half century ago "fagot" meant just "a pile" and "gay" meant "happy".

i feel the mig 21 is the largest jet fighter to be ever produced.

Its MiG-15.

How come everybody missed the Phantom ?

Number built 5,195

Let me think about what titles we could give to Phantom:

* 3rd most produced supersonic aicraft after MiG-21 and MiG-19.
* Most produced western supersonic aircraft.
* Most produced 3rd gen fighter (generations is subjective thing though).

i wonder how many of these f16s are alive and what are their numbers used by doifferent nations?
