I think everyone already knows this but....
109F4 because it is simply the best fighter in the skies! It handles like a dream and it looks like one beautiful and mean fighter!  :devil

Close, but I must go with the F4U-1A. It does everything well.

I'd also like to throw in the B-25H.  I have just as much flying that plane as I do the P-38J, maybe it's the 75mm cannon or the shark's mouth Chinese skin but whatever it is, it's a blast to fly.

The P-38J of course.  Jack of all trades and almost a master of a few.   :rock

Ki67. Of course. :)

It's very fast for a bomber, climbs well, flies well at high alt, handles damage better than a lot of players give it credit for, and has some pretty lethal defensive guns. And, although some fighters carry more ords than this bomber does, its bombs are numerous enough (8 100kg or 15 50kg) to take out some very strategic targets.

They're awfully fun to hunt enemy buffs in, too.   :)

I used to swear by the Spit5, but more recently, the Ki43.  It's slower than almost everything except a Stuka, has limited ammo and only 2 50 cals, but it'll turn around twice in the same time/space as even other turn fighters will turn once. At least it feels that way.

Getting mobbed, it can be very elusive, 1v1 against a good E fighter, you're in big trouble, fortunately though most of the rest of the MA can't seem to resist trying to turn fight with it after a couple of misses doing BnZ on it (again, it's elusive), and once that happens, it's easy to start poking little 50 cal holes and hoping something falls off.

bf-109-K4
1) Get to high bandits quickly...I'm too impatient for long climb outs.
2) Chase down all the runners.  I love that moment when the Pony realizes he can't out run you and is forced to make a move...usually his last.
3) 30mm Boom Boom.  There are no survivors of a hit from the big gun.

P-39
1) Beautiful looking aircraft.
2) Very agile while its got a little E.
3) Connecting with the 37mm is one of the game's big thrills.

110G2 because it's a challenge, I stall fight it, I bomber hunt in it, I bomb**** GVs in it and deack in it. It will kill a cruiser with guns only. Most of all, because it's hard to dogfight in, and easy planes mean nothing to get kills in.
