P-38
Flew UH-1s, AH-1s, AH-64s got a little stick time on an OH-58 Rode in UH-60, CH-47, C-5, B-17 Gonna take a ride on a P-40 if COVID doesn’t ruin things again this year. Would most want to wiggle the sticks on a P-38 SR71 is cool but no sense of speed at that altitude |

Mig killin' bomb truck.
I got to sit in one as a Cub Scout and later watch them at work in VN. If I could afford a warbird this would be it. Attached File |

Shot down the bomber carrying Admiral Yamamoto. |

P6M, U-2 or a WB-57. You said US, because a US-2 would beat either.

Quoted: Curious aviation trivia. The guy that designed (or helped) the U2, SR-71, C-130 and F-117 also fixed the P-38 design. Kelly Johnson was a hell of a brain. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

AH-64
That thing is a hoot just to fly in the simulator. Real life must be a riot. |

I often think about how much of a game changer that aircraft would have been had it seen action in the Pacific in WWII - would have absolutely devastated Japanese island defenses like no other aircraft could have at the time. |

AH 64
Remember reading a maxim back in AIT that said it's more badass than a F1 race car. Always wanted to fly helicopters in the .mil but my eyes were shit, and by time they started taking lasik I was too old. Oh well |

Joining the P-38 club. Ever since about 5th grade or so it’s been my favorite airplane.
AH-64 would be a solid second place. |

A10 if the Brrrrt Button was hot.....but the SR-71 would be a hard one to pass up....
I can’t “get both?” |

None of the above.
Boeing F4B or Curtiss P6E, either one is the epitome of a '30s biplane fighter. |

BONE with terrain following on with wings swept all the way back and max thrust before burners
And rage against the machine playing in the background |
