Jalil Zandi (Persian: جلیل زندی; 1951–2001) was a fighter pilot in the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) who served during all of the Iran–Iraq War. His combat record qualifies him as one of the most successful pilots of that conflict in air-to-air combat,[1][2][3] as well as one of the most successful Iranian aces ever. It also made him the most successful pilot in the history of the F-14 Tomcat.
