The
F-22A is mighty appealing as well!

Definitely some classic warbirds! I've always liked the looks, firepower, and ruggedness of the P-47. Beautiful planes!
Thanks for sharing!

Deary me no; the Thunderbolt was functional but ugly. The Mustang was the looker.

True... the Mustang was (and still is) the looker... and, I prefer functional, ugly, and durable over looks.

This is my current favorite in the fighter Western world, rare to see let alone catch a decent shot of one

I disagree. I would love to fly one of those skypigs!

I have only ever flown them in simulation, but fell for them, just the same. (P47's, that is...)

Is that your standard chat-up line?
