Maybe slip an F7F in that list. But no F6F.Originally Posted by BPTactical
But everyone likes the Mustang and Corsair. Too crowded in that room.
I am not cool at all. Thats why chicks dig me.
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
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.
Today there was two P-51Ds in there. And a P-40. And a F4U. And a G-21 Goose. Kinda boring.
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.

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
Ahh a corsair, two ponies and wooden wonder...did you pass out from lack of blood to the brain because I would have. I would've bust my zipper then hit the floor with a grin on my face.

If that's the case, dibs on your tripods.

YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

B25 for me I think, and a P38 on the fighter end. Had an uncle that was a delivery pilot in the air core so he pretty much flew one of everything in major service in both theaters. No navy, so no F4U or F6F, but P38, P47, P51, B25, B26, B24, ironically - never the pilots seat of a B17. Then he went on into years of postwar service flying the berlin airlift. It was a blast setting him up with "Chuck Yeagers Air Combat" in the early 90's if anyone remembers that.
He did get to fly a B25G when it fired the 75mm. He said you could feel it shake in the whole airframe.... wasn't too sure about that one. I still have a lot of his memorabilia and photos, will get around to scanning and sharing at some point.
I respect what the bombers and transports do/have done, but they don't excite me as much as fighters.
P-51, Supermarine Spitfire--(love the sound of a Merlin, maybe that's why?), P-38, ME 262, F-16, F-15, F-22...
...but probably my most favorite is the A-10 Thunderbolt II, aka the Warthog.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Now we’re talking my language! A-10 is by far my favorite “current” warplane. Kind of like the AK of aircraft!I respect what the bombers and transports do/have done, but they don't excite me as much as fighters.

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...
