Does the entry need to be ownable, ie in existence today and not one from the history books?

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

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:

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