When Real Life 2.0 (tm) comes out of beta, I hope it includes one of these:

F7F-3 (http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/n6178C.htm)

A friend of mine who has flown about every warbird around told me once that the F7F was about his favorite.  He ranks it up with the F6F as a great flyer.

Tigercat is my favourite Yank warbird - always love to see it fly at Duxford.

The Hornet is something special too - would like to have seen one fly.

hmm... maybe...

or the 480 mph+  top speed (fastest twin ever built apparently) outclimb a Spit 14 and 4 hispano's might have something to do with it also.

:D
