Well,if I really had to narrow it down to ONE, as far as warbirds go it would be the SBD. Not the fastest, strongest or prettiest, but one awesome airplane.
Somewhere close behind are the P-40, B-25, C-47, C-123, TBM and PBY. Having flown in the latter two, I had to include them :wink:

I gotta go B-17. I got to get some stick time in one a few years ago at KOSH. IT was great.

I cannot BELIEVE so many of youse troops picked the ubiquitous P-51. What...no original thinking here?
The selection is obvious:

I guess that will end this thread.

Mudge the decisive :?

Here's my #1:

Douglas Skyraider

And, a few others:

F4F Wildcat
Hawker Sea Fury
F4U Corsair
A-10
T-28
Fw-190A
(Note that with the exception of the A-10, all my favorite aircraft have 'round' engines. Well, that should probably read 'radial' engines since even jet engines are mostly round, too...) :D

Cheers,
Mike
