If so, I could pony up, oooooh, a buck and a half or so...

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

They sold a figgin painting for 140M$. The mossie is prettier, superior art, and she flies.

As it happens, I am working on a 9M$ heist... But I may have said too much... :uhoh

They don't exactly push restored aircraft to their limits.

That being said, the pilot said he wouldn't want to dogfight a single engined fighter in it, except a P-51.

That was a great video.  It is awesome to see a Mossi fly.
