This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I'd love to see a P-43 fly someday. Another one I'm fond of is the Grumman XF5F Skyrocket. Wouldn't that be something?

Oh boy.
Keystone B-6 (Still no answer on the NMUSAF parts?)
Martin B-10
Thomas-Morse O-19
Curtiss A-12 Shrike
Curtiss SOC-3 (can't believe the Pensacola folks couldn't trade a spare Dauntless to someone to build a Seagull)

It would never happen, but the B-32. And there could never be too many B-24/PB4Y1/2s in the world either, IMO.

PZL P.11c
Boeing P-26
Handley Page H.P.42
One that would be on my list is already being done..........
Boeing 100 series (P-12/F4B)

I am a fan of the Gunter brothers designs for Heinkel and am sorry that so few of their machines survive. Those guys were innovators at the same level as Reggie Mitchell or Kelly Johnson or Jack Northrop, or even greater, but many of their designs are now extinct. I would especially like to see an He 51, He 70, He 112, and He 119.
I'd like to see an Aichi D3A, a Nakajima B5N, a Dornier Do 17, and a Short Stirling.
A Spiteful/Seafang would be pretty nice also.

Napier Sabre powered Typhoon and Tempest
Dinah III
J2M Raiden
Ju-87's, (with Jericho Horn of course)
He-100

howzabout a Bell Airacuda, maybe a heinkel he162 peoples fighter.The plane that I would really like to see is a copy of the plane Howard Hughes almost killed himself in (F-11?) that was a beautiful machine.

I would pay good money just to see a Napier Sabre run.whether in a plane or on a stand.what a crazy overcomplicated engine.
Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:41 pm
FW 189 ,FW 200, Keystone Bomber, Devastator, to name a few.
Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:11 pm
Oh yeah, how could I forget a Bel XP-77? Who wouldn't want a V-12 with a saddle on it? Kinda neat too that from what I've read one of the prototypes just kind of disappeared when no one cared enough anymore to remember where it was.

Ju87 Stuka- One of the most significant aircraft of the early war, hardly any survivors. Would be great to see one fly, even with a modern or American engine. It's really a shame there aren't more survivors, especially given its importance early in the war.
Others:
P-6 Hawk- One of my personal favorites
Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik
Hawker Tempest/Typhoon with Napier Sabre engines

I predict that we will see a Stuka fly within our lifetimes. I would say there is a high probability that either Paul Allen or Gerry Yagen will build one.

There's probably one flying somewhere (Kansas maybe?), but I would like to add a Curtiss O-52 "Owl" to my wierd little Air Force.
AT-9 Jeep, Martin Mauler, AND a Curtiss Owl.
That is all.
