Not taking anything away from the jets, but from a beauty standpoint, nothing
today can come close to the British Spitfire or the P-51D, and while I've only
seen one in my life, I'd have to put old Art's Marauder in my top 5.


Agree on the Spit and the Mustang part. I've seen the Marauder
at Kermit Weeks place and if nothing else, it sure puts the B-25 in
its place in the "beauty dept." The Brits did an elegant job designing
my stylish, swept-wing trike. Looks like a dolphin with wings and
in the right hands, in the air they're agile, quick, graceful, and
entertaining to watch like dolphins are.
