You picked my favorite also. The alternative would be a C-47 / DC-3. The ultimate workhorse.Mr. Godfrey said:As ever, the one I most desire is Tante Ju. I would have it with no paint, design my own tail design and travel round the world on my own private adventure
But I do like it in snow cammo!!!
Not sure about snow though lol
Your not alone! Back in the early 90s I was at Eagle, Colorado and the late Art Vance was there with his P-51 Mustang Million Dollar Baby, he told me, if the reporter didn't show up I could have a ride! The reporter was a no show, so I helped him pre flight the 51, and we were preparing to mount up when he got the word a storm front was moving in! I have sat in five P-51s, and promised a ride in two, and have never been of the ground in one yet!Colonel said:

. At 13 I knew more about B-17s than most boys knew about football. It will be nice to get it back to the east coast. Second to the B-17 is anything with guns

Seriously, I visit the museum a few times a month and every time I go there, I sit on a bench under the left wing and read for a while. It's almost like it knows me. It gives me a very profound sense of peace.
