Who is suppose to be able to fly the Spit 16

The F4U just plain looks the best.  It's as close to "perfection" as I can imagine a plane being.

I don't really see why everyone cries so much about the 16, the vast majority of them I come across might as well bail before we merge because 16 pilots are  generally awful.  Occasionally you run across one that will give you a fight, weather or not the pilot is still below average and the plane is mostly responsible for making the fight challenging doesn't really matter to me.  A good fight is a good fight, against a dweeb ride or not.

its a good plane and. . .

thats why people fly it.

"I don't fly the spits for the same reasons that I don't do lots of things.  The don't interest me in the least.  Plus, they're goofy-lookin.  Fighting them doesn't bother me at all.  A few holes can actually make them look better, or at least less goofy-lookin.  Simply because there's less of it to look at.  Less is definately more in that instance."

Well thats one way to look at it
