Performance arguments asside...which aircraft is better looking? F15 or SU-27/30? I think the SU-27 but versions with canards are not nearly as appealing.
depends in the angle and the picture
I like this picture a lot from this angle it looks incredible beautiful the Su-27
hopwever this F-15 picture is equally beautiful

I too dislike the look of the Flanker with canards (and they both look bad with the two-seater bubbles). Dark gray camo Flanker for me.

I kind of agree with you but some times it depends in the angle and camuflage

Great photos all beautiful! But that last one confirms that the moustache really spoils it. I can also see that the two seater is not nearly as attractive as the single.

I like the canards on the Flanker. The old 35 looks really sexy in my opinion. The F-15 doesn't look bad either, but the Su-27 is the more pretty one in my subjective opinion.

Kill me for that, but for me a canard equipped Flanker twinseater wins this contest..

Very subjective question. All boils down to ones personal opinion.

Flankers all the way! They have the curves that make them look eligant and dangerous from any angle, whereas the eagle, while also magnificant, looks boxy and a little boring from the side. Although I would also agree that the vanilla flanker looks better then those with canards.

One vote for the F-15 (singleseater). Somewhat strange, I don't like Flankers looks, but the similar MiG-29 is really appealing to me.

the F-15 looks good in the air, but on the ground, especially from the side, it looks weak, with spindly landing gear. my fave is the twin seater Su-30 with the canards..wicked !! :diablo:

Don't forget the Su 34, it also looks quite gorgeous! And very purposefull!

Why is it strange? On looks alone, the Flanker wins.
Possibly on performance too, but that's another thread.
As for the two seaters, has there ever been a twin-tandem seater that looked as good as it's single seater parent? Discount A/c that were built as a two seater, such as the Tonka.
Also a grey area is the Harrier T10, actually built for a two seat role in war, but also used as a trainer......still one butt ugly version of the single seater though.

Yes the new MiG-29KUB looks like the single seater ;)

I gotta say the F-15, more specifically the F-15E is the best looking to me, I like the dark paint scheme, however I also like the Israeli F-15I ra'am schemes as well, but the F-15 fo' show! lol

I think the F-15 and Su-27 have something i dislike in both designs, their radomes sometimes look quit big, in the Su-27 looks too big kind of coarse looking without elegance and very bulbous and in the F-15 too angular, the MiG-29 looks better in two versions to my taste in the MiG-29SMT and MiG-29M, the MiG-29 beats both designs.
The MiG-29 radome looks more like an ogive

I would go with the Flankers. This is one of the most perfectly aesthetic fighters ever seen. This is not to say the F-15 looks good too, and indeed it has classic looks.

This topic is too easy to answer, aesthetically speaking the Su-27 is hands down better than the F-15 in any version. I kind of liked the T-10 shape better than the Su-27. Too bad it didn't include F-14 in the options because its better looking than the other two.

I like that paint scheme- and wish they'd put it on a Su-27 :)

Some time back there was a poll here and the Tomcat came in 3rd behind the Rafale and F-23. Flanker was down the list a bit but to be fair had the Su-27/-35 been added together I think it was 3rd or 4th.
