I prefer the Mi24 hind, as sometimes when shooting missiles in hover the harrier will suck in the exhaust from the missile and stall the engine.

Remember in the late 80s when Pepsi did the points that you could get stuff, and the had a Harrier jet that was one million points.  If i am not mistaking, they really did not have one and a guy acutely got the point and took them to cout for false advertising.

If I bought a warbird I'd like a p38. Trike gear is easy for us low-time pilots.

What is there like 7 airworthy p-38s but I have thought about the same question and the p-38 would be my top choice as well.  It's purty...

No nose wheel steering though.  That'd take a little getting used to.

If I were to own a warbird, it would be either the:
