What is your favorite war bird or bomber?

Agreed the B-24 is way under recognized. My fav jet is without a doubt the f-22 or the F-14. Two weeks ago I met the first female navy fighter pilot and talked to her for ~10 min. And It was amazing!

As a kid I always gravitated to the Mustang as a prop plane, F-14 as the jet. Top Gun sealed that one in, seen that movie a few dozen times. Now as a prop plane is a close P-47 or Spit, jets would also have to be the F-22 and F-35. Bomber is the B-2, it's simplicity is so complicated, seems to defy the laws of physics, and is just sexy smooth to look at. My grand father flew Hercules C-130's in his Airforce career, obviously not a bomber but a very respectable plane nonetheless. I want to build one out of FB as a homage to him when I get a twin pack someday

Got a soft spot for the forgotten ones...

F7F Tigercat is pretty high on my list, especially the USMC ones... ;)

Being from a family of celts with a 2000 year family history in Scotland/Ireland it is not a nation based selection but rather a selection based on the aircraft performance itself.

The worlds, fastest, and last,, of the real vertical dive bombers.

Have fun!
