Nice Jugs
It seems there are a lot of Mustang and Spitfire lovers in here but "real" warbirds have radial engines . I would rather look at a P-47 Thunderbolt (or Jug as they lovingly called them) over a Mustang or Spit any day. Here is the one owned by WestPac Restorations in Rialto CA.

Admiring a P-47 is like admiring a "Brinks" armored truck at a car show. Personally, for a radial engine Warbird Fighter, I prefer the F4U Corsair. On a low, dirty pass or landing approach with flaps and gear down she is really sexy. On a high low speed pass, she is a vengeful Goddess. Now, my favorite Warbird Fighter of them all is the P40 Warhawk. That aircraft was made for a shark's mouth and in fact looks like a Great White. The P-40 held her own and proved a viable foe against her advisaries. I design, build and fly Radio Control Warbirds and enjoy that hobby immensely. I am also a member of the Commerative Air Force. The only thing between owning a full scale Warbird and me is money. Man, they are pricy!

My favorite fighter is the P-47, my favorite medium bomber is the B-26 Marauder (not the havoc), but my favorite warbird packs a whoping 190 horses, it has a 6 cyl Lycoming 0-435, and is the the most beautiful warbird ever invented, it is the L-5. All other L-birds cant hold a candle to this aircrafts track record.

My favorite Navy fighter is the F8F Bearcat. I love Corsairs, especially the Super Corsair, don't get me wrong but the Bearcat to me represents the pinnacle of piston engine fighters. They look mean just sitting on the ramp.
By the way all of you L-bird owners in CA need to make it out for the Eagle Field fly-in and 1940's dinner dance. http://www.eaglefield.net
