This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

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 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
