I've flown in a P-51, SNJ, both at Oshkosh

Sat in the cockpit of two P-38's, POF's at Chino, white liighting at Reno, Corsair at Chino, F6F at Chino, P-47 at Santa Monica.

I'm sure all of you have many, many more than me.

I have never flown a warbird ... yet!

I've flown 42 types now, but some of those are similar in nature (a few of the Cessna series for example). I'd have to get the logbook out to list them all, but that would probably not interest most of you anyway.

Only have had the pleasure of riding in two. A C-124 and an L-2
I remember watching the same Taylorcraft taxiing out a few years later when something let go on the right gear and it slowly settled down till the prop and wingtip hit. It was barely moving at the time. Better there than on take-off or landing.
