A-26 Invader, first warbird I ever saw and a different one was the first
abandoned warbird I saw.
P-51 Mustang, first wartime fighter aircraft I ever saw and first
warbird pilot I ever spoke too. (He was killed a few weeks
later.)
Fiesler Storch, First foreign warbird I ever saw.
PT-26, First warbird I ever thought of owning. I was 16.
Bf 109G First restoration I ever contributed too. (Whatever happened to
John Caler's Gustav?)
TBM Avenger First warbird restoration I actually worked on.
B-17 First warbird ride. (It was free too.)
Bf108/Nord I got to see Cliff Robertson's aircraft before it was delivered.
AT-6 First one I got to poke around on at Tech School.
Corsair, First rumor of a warbird wreck that was actually true.

That struck a chord! :D A derelict F2G Corsair was the first WWII combat aircraft I ever saw. Made a big impression on me at age 13 and I suppose that it's a big reason the F2G made my list and remains a favorite to this day.
