I'd probably go for a B-17

But with formations :D

Or a Spitfire, so I can wreck it

If you could purchase, and fly, one and only one WW-ll aircraft which one would you buy?

Use the same criteria as AH. "Seen combat/squadron strength".

i'd find a way to convince the Air Force to sell me the P38 that's at McGuire AFB, get a full restoration(keeping everything authentic looking inside too), and get her back in the air again.

I just couldn't say no to a Spitfire.

If i couldn't get a Spitfire, i would like a Mosquito.

Probably a PBY Catalina.

Hey, whaddya I need to be zipping around at 400+ MPH for? You try fitting a tent, a grill, the dog, a cooler, a keg, and half-a-dozen fishing rods into your P-51s, Corsairs, or 109s when you want to go on vacation though...

You need a Sunderland. :)

Tough choise,

190 (best looking plane ever imo) or the KI-84 (there is only one left). . .

I would not get a 109 because its bound to crash on landing. . .and that would break the bank

Undoubtedly a Spitfire but I'd have a hard time choosing between a V or a IX.  I guess I'd take the IX.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

take off is a lot easier then landing (not that I would know. . .since I fly gliders irl, not prop planes) but with the wheel base that close. . .its no wonder more 109s were lost on landing then in combat!
