Erm... Out of the entire selection there is not a single decent aeroplane. How do you expect anyone to choose?

I thought France was made up by Hollywood to make their war films seem more exotic. :-?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Oddly enough, my favorite fighters are also my favorite fighter/bombers...
Lockheed P-38
North American F-86
both were conceived as interceptor/dogfighters, but proved to be outstanding ground-attack mounts as well.

Might want to rephrase that Jake........

The US didn't start WW1, WWII, Korea, or Vietnam. We just had to come in and clean up other countries messes.
