| Immunes | the average human cannot afford a P-51 mustang, but, you can build one. There are plans available, if you have the guts and the skill, to build 2/3 or 3/4 scale mustangs. Some even have provisions to use V-8 auto engines. Though not as fast, they look and fly just like the real thing. Most countries allow homebuilts from approved plans. Buy a homebuilders magazine or check out the web. |

| Milites Gregarius | I'd like to have a ME-109 aka BF-109, the boxy look of the German fighters has an appeal to me. It was also a very nice aircraft. Having a Russian fighter would be cool, also. The Japanese planes kind of sucked, the only reason they were a threat is because they didn't have any armor, and were fast. In many cases, however, the American fighters were faster than the zero. I would LOVE to have a spitfire, it's a beautiful aircraft

| Immunes | Have a look at www.stormbirds.com very interesting site. They are in the process of re manufacturing 5 ME 262's and restoring a ME 109 and a FW 190. Cost of aircraft vary on their airworthyness. Zero time airframes cost the most. You might be lucky and find something that belong or was used by some small poor country. I saw a F4U Corsair in a local workshop getting refitted that the owner had picked up from just such a place. It was going to cost him 1mil to have the engine rebuilt and another mil by the time the airframe was up to speed. Duxford in the UK has a very good collection and the Confederate Air Force in the US also has a very good collection |
