If you had the money would you buy a Bf-109E
Or a P51B?

P-51B for sure!  It's still a functional plane.  I remember watching a documentary about a guy who owned a P-51D, he said he would fly it across the country instead of taking a commercial airliner. 

I know on P-47s and other radial engined planes with turbochargers that they have removed the turbos due to fire hazards.  I'm not sure what they have done with the P-51s superchargers.  I wonder if most of them still have them? 

I'm not sure what the FAA says about supplemental oxygen, I know mil standards require it above 12,000 feet.  But above 10,000 gets you out of the FAA reduced speed zone.

If I had the money I wouldn't waste it on either and instead get a P47.
