@irishwonder1973: used to have an airshow here every summer. watched the snow geese. blue angels and thunderbirds perform AMAZING

@dentope3: It takes a special kind of pilot to perform like that at airshows.

Actually I think they look better than modern fighters.. the bombers , especially the b24 are beautiful .. the 30s-50s had some really cool machines in trains planes and automobiles

@Deadcutie: They are all beautiful aircraft.It seems the designers wanted some beauty in the designs.Most machines form that time period were gorgeous.

Yep. In my office, I have a large painting of a flight of Mustangs over the Rhine.

@irishwonder1973: This print is special because the Mustangs are in the 338th Fighter Squadron. The man for whom I am named flew in that squadron and shot down an ME-262 in the last days of the war.

@exexec: Have you ever heard of the Mustang "Big Beautiful Doll". I actually touched this aircraft.Sadly it crashed at an airshow.But I believe they are rebuilding it.

@exexec: Must have been a skilled pilot to take down a ME-262.

Hawker Hurricane 👍🏻 60% of BOB kills but usually overshadowed by the Supermarine Spitfire (love the elliptical wing design though)

They are iconic. Who hasn't though of Zero's, P51s, and Messerschmitt Me's?
irishwonder1973 · 51-55, M
@Xuan12: I kind of like the Lockheed P-38 Lightning.

@jjoe01: The Grumman F6F Hellcat shot down more Zero's than any other fighter.
@irishwonder1973: good to know. Thanks
