How can you NOT pick a Corsair? Most beautiful plane ever built.

Man, this is a lot better than the flyover here in London. Should see a spit, a hurri and a Lancaster later though, and they usually go right over the flat.
Although I'm with Jocke on aesthetics, (the Corsair wins) I'd want a PBY. Imagine where you could take that thing![:)]

The corsair would be the one to aspire to but the PBY is the practical one. Like a sports car vs a sedan.

I think an A-26 would better for a plane to go places than a PBY. I don't think anyone has landed a PBY on water in 30 years. If you did want to land it on water, you have to deal with extra corrosion problems as well as checking the hull for leaks. Plus a PBY is very slow. An A-26 has twice the cruising speed.
I noticed they didn't have any Hellcats at that airshow. That had the highest kill to loss ratio of any plane that saw any significant combat, and shot down almost as many planes as P-51s.

My point exactly. It would work great for fly-in fishing trips! [8D]

Most of the rivers and streams I fly-fish at would make a PBY landing a little dicey -- too shallow and too rocky.
