The Michael Jordan of the Skies

The word G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Time) is thrown around a lot these days, but only a limited few truly earn it. In a piece for 19fortyfive, writer Harry J. Kazianis makes the case that the F-15 Eagle is the only aircraft that compares to the GOAT of basketball – Michael Jordan.

“Fifty-four years after the first flight, the scoreboard reads like nothing else in aviation: 104 official wins and counting [and] zero air-to-air defeats… the greatest of all time is a title you have to defend every night for decades. The Eagle still hasn’t lost the one that counts.”
