What a question.... I would love a Yak 11 but haven't flown in one in 10+ years.
The Mustang would be a very obvious choice and have had many happy hours in the back of one, but just now, for sheer enjoyment this is the best fun I have had with my clothes on....

Now, if it will stop raining in the UK I can go and have fun.....

I'd be happy with this bird. It'd be nice to actually say that I own it.

Or this one (which might be more practical) with a different paint scheme:

I know it's funny and not worth as much as the P-51 I'd also like to have, but I've come to really like the little birds.

Ideally, but don't sweat it if you feel that's spoiling your fun... ;)

There's something about the RB-51, isn't there? :D

Scott, just wondered, is that Rudel's Stuka and if so is that the one you would have , or just indicative of the type?

Since you didn't say how much is in the bag, I'm assuming it's enough to buy the following:

Very Cool to have, especially down in the islands so I can sit in my hamock, and watch the coconuts fall.

And of course the Lead Boat, as I call it

I don't know if it is Rudel's aircraft but that would be the one I would do the markings of.
