    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    I think I've got go with the Spitfire...It close though with the P-51D. If it wasn't for the Spit's Merlin the P51 would not have been the plane that it was. And, the Spits held the tide and continued into the Korean War (Seafires) But its a close one.....P-51's are beautiful!
