As a Brit I'm sure the Spitfire is your favorite, but most of us Yanks prefer the P51 Mustang. Both planes have the same power plant but damn, those Mustangs sure are sexy. A man in my town owns a completely restored Mustang and frequently flies it. The sound of it approaching on a low and fast strafing run always brings me out to watch it fly by. When I hear the roar of the engines going by I can't help but feel like a little kid at an air show.
When i attend air shows i only attend for the Lancaster Bombers and Spitfires/Hurricanes because the sight and noise is just Overwhelming...it really does demonstrate the raw power of those days and frankly i still do think to this day it's probably one of the most sexiest planes ever invented after the F35 and Euro fighter Thypoon
