Idk, I googled it and it was the best picture to fit in the avatar. If you have an image of Su-27 in a 10:10 resolution I will accept it.

ETA most people dont know the difference anyway. They cant differentiate between Su-27 and Mig-29 and F-15.

WTF have they done to it? Is it a different engine, or something else?
Upgraded avionics and conformal fuel tanks. The sales team call them "Venom sacks" because it's the Viper, but they don't see much use in the US, since we have full tanker support and don't really need to worry about extending onboard fuel capability outside of drop tanks.

F-18 is the prettiest plane americans built after ww2, dont @ me.
Saying this after the Tomcat, Aardvark, A-4 and Phantom all clearly exist is bold. Maybe even retarded, but bold none the less
 
All of which are ugly and overestimated in the looks department. You'd have a case for the Phantom, but the rest looks awful.
You are dead wrong, mon ami. I didn't even have to do an image search to find a gorgeous picture of a Tomcat, because there are NO ugly pictures of the Tomcat. The first pic on Wikipedia will do, ffs.

If there is one toy I would geek out on and buy today as an adult, it's the Hasbro GI Joe Tomcat. There is a local toys/collectable store near to me that has multiple F-14s in GI Joe livery, a few aircraft carriers, and a full squad of COBRA-livery painted black A-10 Warthogs, all of which are on display around the top of the interior of the store just below the roof. I am jealous as fuck, and I don't even collect old toys.

( I did have a decent collection of GI Joe toys as a kid though, including the rare COBRA ICBM launcher hauled by a COBRA-painted copy of the GI Joe jeep with ma-deuce mounting.)

Fuck yeah! Had that GI Joe Tomcat, too! One of my dad's friends was big time into RC cars and planes. He had an 1/16th scale RC Tomcat and an A-10. He also had an AH-64. We'd go to a local hobby strip and watch him fly them. So fucking cool.

I have a sky striker. My goal is to one day make a Flagg in to a wet bar
