The Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star, introduced in 1948, was the United States' first operational jet fighter. Powered by a General Electric J33 engine, it boasted a top speed of 600 mph and a range of 800 miles. Armed with six 0.50 caliber machine guns, it played a pivotal role during the Korean War.
I'd much rather be kicking back watching the hawks than being scared out of my mind by these guys roaring overhead. A friendly, knowledgeable flickerite turned me onto the fact that these are F-15E Strike Eagles capable of hitting 1,875 MPH while only 'wasting' $41,064 per hour to fly.
He also advised me that NASA owns 2 of these guys which sort of freaked me out, but a little research (hello CoPilot) reveals they use it for testing purposes of high-speed flight, and they're not starting their own air force.

The first widely used jet fighter for the United States Air Force was the F-86 Sabre. Several versions were produced and they were manufactured under license in other countries for friendly nations. It was the most produced fighter in the Western World with just under ten-thousand of them built.
