ok first of all the f-22 has some cool features on it, however, combat wise i wouldn't pick it. I think its overrated as hell. F-15E Strike Eagle hands down. It can fight air to air...air to ground....used heavily in the current conflict. As old as the aircraft is...its always going through upgrades and can bring a world of hurt....and has saved a lot of soldiers lives on the battlefield.

F-14 Tomcat
Upgrades
Close-up view of the distinctive afterburner petals that distinguish the GE F110 engine.Because the new engine intended for the Tomcat was not yet ready when the plane entered service, the F-14 was fitted with the TF30 turbofan engines used by the F-111. This engine, the first turbofan to be fitted with an afterburner, was designed for use with attack or strike aircraft, not dogfighters. Further, the TF30 only gave the F-14 a 0.75 thrust to weight ratio, about the same as the F-4, though the F-14 still maneuvered better than its predecessor.

The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation American fighter aircraft that utilizes fourth-generation stealth technology.It is an air dominance fighter, but is equipped for ground attack, electronic warfare and signals intelligence roles as well. The F-22 is a critical component of the US Global Strike Task Force.
Faced with a protracted development period, the prototype aircraft was designated YF-22 and, as F/A-22 during the three years before formally entering United States Air Force service in December 2005 as the F-22A. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the F-22. Along with Lockheed Martin, partner Boeing Integrated Defense Systems provides the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and all of the pilot and maintenance training systems.

yeah, raptor.
But in the near future,
the eurofighter, harrier, and F-22, and possibly even the F-117, would be outclassed by the JSF.
But i think the SAAB Draken packs a mighty punch too.
