The P-51D is my favorite plane to use for an all purpose fighter. I can fly to a large base with just two 500 ponders and kill all the ords and fly home. It is fast and has great range and I find I can kill bombers with it pretty easy. I would like the 51 even more if it were modeled more like the History Channel has it on Dog Fight that I believe to be more correct. I would be happy to pay perk points for the end of the war version of the P-51. My other favorite plane is the 109F-4 just because.
