I'd probably have to go with the P-38.

It just looks so beautiful sitting there. So deadly and beautiful.

For sheer joy in flying, A6m or a D3a Val.

Otherwise I have to agree with BnZ. For fishing, camping, going to con, hooking up with squad mates and friends.
PBY or similar Amphib would be perfect. Load up the grill, kayaks, tent, etc and go wherever you want.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

Lower operating/maintenance cost then most of those all ready listed, and can carry a ton of stuff with plenty of room for a few friends.

Just can't land on water like the PBY or J2F.

Or the chin?

Hellcat would be my 2nd choice. That or a Jug. :aok

The first cleared the sky of the sneaky Japs. The 2nd gave what for to the bloody Hun.

Both were work horses. Both were heros. Both are among the most successful fighter designs ever.

If no 38s,Cats, or Jugs were on the shelf I'd make do with a Mossie.

What a fabulous airplane the Mossie. What a fabulous history.

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...

Good point.. id take the pby too.

You should have been fishing with us about 15 years ago- got passed in NYs Barge Canal by a PT Boat on Memorial Day weekend in 1994. And, of course, the batteries in the camera were dead.

I don't remember its hull number, but it was zebra-striped. Full crew by the looks of it too- about a dozen old guys lounging in lawn chairs on the deck while one "drove".
