I will start with 2 candidates.

1. Lope's Hope 3rd
2. XP-82 Twin Mustang
Who else would like to nominate another warbird?

Would they fly it there? The engine is on the ground between the landing gear...

Well I don't know who will win but if the 8 aircraft suggested as contenders were to all show up, they alone would be worth the price of a week away from home!

Cheers,

Jeff

Perhaps one option would be to award the XP-82 "Grand Champion - Post War"?
