Hey folks, aviation has always been a huge interest of mine. And now, I'm attempting to align this interest with a career in the military. Can anyone tell me which branch of the U.S. military has the largest number of fighting aircraft, planes, and jets?
The branch of the U.S. military that has the most fighting aircraft is the United States Air Force. The USAF boasts a formidable collection of jets ranging from fighters to bombers to drones. With over 5,000 military aircraft including fighter jets such as the F-35 Lightning II, F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor, it’s safe to say the USAF has the largest fleet of aircraft amongst the U.S. military branches. These aircraft not only ensure air superiority, but also provide strategic bombing, close air support, reconnaissance, and transport capabilities. It's a great place to align your interest in aviation with a military career!
