For me the end all be all was Gary Old's F4, the Flying Tiger p40 Warhawk, and my 2nd fav of ww2 the P-38 Lightning. Sadly there was no gull wing F4U Corsair, I guess you got to go to Pensecola for that. The P61 Black Widow was one I was not familiar with but absolutely wicked cool plane. I may have to try doing some model planes again, but I dunno when I'll have time. I miss it though, one of my fav childhood hobbies.Go again in a couple yrs......you can't take it in......in just one day...Did U see the Valkorie (sp)?? just amazing!!! But the Black Bird made it obsolete!!

The P61 Moonlight Serenade was a bad lil B****.

If you hear a corsair at an airshow it is so distinctive. Just has an awesome growl that to me is what a ww2 fighter is supposed to sound like.The P38 just looks bad azz sitting still!! What I would give for a ride!!
I was also looking for a Corsair....it also dawned on me that it was a Navy Plane. My Dad was in the South Pacific and a pharmacy mate. He had a buddy that would take him for a ride in a Corsair.
