The Guatemalan AF's P-51D Mustang on display outside of HQ at La Aurora Airport.
When you are out of Mustangs, you are out of fighters.

Weird coincidence, I ran across this photo I took last year earlier today.

For me. F-14A BuNo. 160666 at the Western Aerospace Museum. Painted in the VF-111 Sundowners High Vis markings that it wore on the 1979-80 USS Kittyhawk cruise. Gotta love that Shark Mouth and Sunrays.

Gentlemen!
C'mon, Hairy said "unlimited" budget. The obvious answer is Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose"
However,
If terminal cancer is found and I have just a few weeks to go, then all resources would be prepping for a moon shot in that Me-163 (What a way to go).
Tulio: You forgot the second line of that epithet.
"When you are out of Mustangs, you are out of fighters...
But when you're out of glycol, you're out of Mustangs!"
Round rules--pointy drools!!

Halifax II W1048 from the RAF Museum and doing something sensible to it.
Or the nose-section from PN323 now at the IWM, London and donate it to Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington.

Hawker Typhoon......and to hear the Sabre roar( or whine as the case may be).

It would have to have these.
1 Has to have at lest 2 seats, 3 seats would much better.
2 Preferred if you can move around or have contact with everyone in the crew at all times.
3 Used by the Navy
4 Some nice big round engines
5 Need to have some type of Turret or M2 mounts
It was very hard to just pick one, but here it is.
I want a PBY-5A
