I Love World War Two Aircraft

So Many To Love

By: AmyJack
Written on February 13th, 2010

The mention of the Mosquito reminded me of another one I'd love to see flying: Beaufighter.

P-51, P-38, F4U, Ki-61, FW-190... My list is huge and I have no favorites. Those who truly love WW2 warbirds there is nothing like the Reno Air Races. The sound of all those engines at full throttle is just beyond belief.

    Just a few weeks ago I took a ride in the Sentemental Journey, a WWII B17, it's based in Mesa Arizona. They also have a B25 Mitchell and a model 18 Beechcraft that also go to air shows.

    If in the Phoenix area find Falcon field, they have a very nice museum.

    You're right. There are so many to appreciate. I've sen a beaufighter in Hendon museum London but there's not a flying example yet.

      Hmm I'm in SoCal and have been to POF Chino a half dozen times but never seen a Beau. Will check into it.
