No competition, the P51D Mustang

Ive been enfatuated with it since i was about 11. Beautiful aircraft. very powerful too. Many of my profile names on multiple sites are actually XP51MustangX or some variation of that. Aside from that i love B-29s, SBD Dauntless, F6F Hellcats, Me-262s, F4U Corsairs.

And more importantly, the C-47. My grandfather was a flight engineer aboard a C-47, and i like to think about how im here because the aircraft was so good to him, and indirectly good to my father and then to me. Had it been a lousy aircraft i might not be here, and even worse he dodged reassignment to the 8th by the skin of his teeth. I'm very fortunate he didn't, he had a very good chance of never making it out of there.
