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...

You are correct, here's an article about it.

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:

OR

Despite my love for the 38, the Jug would be my first choice, if I had one.

Has both chevron and texico logo.  Most likely they contribute money in building the P-47.

I would hate to have to figure out how much more money I would have to spend to be able to insure it and fly it.  Where in the heck can you get harrier training any way.............. :bolt:

Is there some kind of special endorsement you would have to get to fly the harrier?

You couldn't insure it because you have to have a certain amount of time in that type of aircraft.  The only person that would buy that is a really rich ex harrier pilot.  I dont think that there to many of those in the world.
