I believe what Hoser is saying, is that he really likes multi engine, propeller driven, offensive planes, the rarer the better? Man, Tigercats and black widows are some rare birds...

Really interesting history with how Charles Lindbergh worked with forces using the P-38 to optimize performance and range. The range gains alone were pretty startling.
Walked into a hangar earlier today. This hangar usually has a beautiful P-51D in it. I like to go in and said hi to the owner and beg for a ride.Quote:

Then I saw it. One of three flyable remaining in the world. A DeHavilland Mosquito. My life is complete.
Next month a Spitfire is supposed to arrive.
The hangar owner doesent like pics taken because he doesent want everyone knocking on his hangar door so he asks us not to take pics. He is a really cool cat, so I agreed to not take any.
Nice!
