Warbird Information Exchange

To quote twice Ace in a day Archie Donahue when asked;

"If I had to fight that war again, I would want to do it from the cockpit of a Corsair!"

My favorite plane?



Cheers!

Favorite WWII plane? P-51, to be specific, Nervous Energy V.

Other than that my most favorite planes are the Gee Bee and a ercoupe!

And yes, I did say an ercoupe

k5dh....what a nice pic of Chuckie against the pretty sky....you did well if you were the photog.

The F-86--particularly the Canadair Mk 6 Sabre (Santa, are you listening?)

The MIGHTY Bearcat!!(plus I just finished up an annual on one!My favorite one!)

Steve, after annual it is good practice for a checkout flight. I find I have a small opening in my schedule and after the flight I might have another plane to add to my list of favorites.

...just another plane dreamer.

I'm kind of partial to the Sea Fury and the T-6 myself.

Golden oldie= Swordfish to think an old bi plane delt the bismark its fatal blow and delt with the pride of the italian navy

jet= Vulcan roll on june 17th when our only fit vulcan should fly again for first time in almost 20 years just in time for falklands victory parade

Fav american b-17

Well, as y'all know, my heart belongs to the Corsair, but since they're so few and far between, I've been foolin' around with the T-6!

Favorite Plane I have flown: Spitfire MKIX. It's combination of great looks, historic importance, good performance and manueverabilty with easy handling is tops. Others: P-51, like a cousin to a Spitfire.: B-17, the Queen, only have a liitle right seat time including a low pass : Piper J3 Cub, 70 years on still a great trainer, and like a trip back into a simpler time of less stress, not for techno nerds. Planes I'd like to fly: Spitfire Mk V,(lighter, nimble, docile even if it doesn't have as much combat ability as later models), MK24, so much power and speed, Bearcat, Hellcat(both reputed to be easy to handle) Zero, Hurricane(historic as any) Mosquito, F86 Like most pilots I'd really like to fly them all.
