Mine varies from week to week, most, if not all, WW2 A/C and some Korean war A/C.  Favorite: P61 !!

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Last night I filmed myself shooting at a F4u-1C that exploded.  Got a great shot of my 205 hurtling through the fireball with a wing just in view that had fallen off the poor hawg.
Maybe I'll use this for motivation.

I apologize for clogging this thread, but these were sent to me by a squaddie some months ago and I rotate between the two. These two pilots have my envy.
