Another post made me think of this.

If you had to chose just 1 warbird that you wanted to see fly so much that you would spare no expense, including traveling to a foreing country to see it fly what would it be.

For me no contest - a Mosquito-

Right now I'd settle for a particular F-4D. We're close.

You need to get out to SoCal, marine air. There are 2 real zeros within a few hours drive of each other. At the Chino show last year, they flew the 2 together.

For me, it would be the XB-70. I saw it land for the last time at Wright Patterson as a young lad.
