Aww c'mon. The question should be, "Which one would you rather take a ride in?"

My answer to your question is the P51 Mustang, which I did Flew in once in a family wagon maintained in a hanger in Kissimmee, Florida.------ This poll is Archived ------

yes and the Boeing VC-25 is a military version of the Boeing 747 used for the potus or vp... which in my opinion presently is the most recognized aircraft today------ This poll is Archived ------

I think that's probably also the one that HAD the best safety record - the now discontinued JUMBO JET ?------ This poll is Archived ------

Not all of them had two seats. I too got to ride in one at about age 12, bought off the boneyard at Love Field Dallas and restored by a friend of my father. Way cool, far more than a Learjet.------ This poll is Archived ------

i belive the two seater family wagons were originally trainers. love the smell of the high octane fuel used in these birds and the sound of the rolls-royce merlin v-12 engine is awesome ...------ This poll is Archived ------

They were trainers. The combat planes were single seat. Less area to cover with armor meant all kinds of good things in performance. Still a very meaty aircraft. Nothing like it today.A fellow at my field bought one a few years ago, a two-seater. He could not fly it solo until he had some wild number of hours in type, due to insurance. Maybe 200? I don't recall. So he flew with my CFII, a steady stick. It was nice to hear that engine roar!
One nice day they took off and just past the end of the runway they augured in full power. Killed them both and the ship burned. We surmised that the owner was acting PIC and hit the throttle too aggressively after wheels up. That tiny little rudder has no authority at low speed and there's a huge P factor from the big prop with all those ponies. From 500' it was over in a fraction of a second. Bad day at Black Rock, as they say.
I'm into low and slow these days. Thinking of a repro antique, open cockpit to replace the Skylane. Certificated planes are a tyranny. Every time you get a postcard from the FAA, you know it's bad news for someone. I only go up when it's nice nowadays so experimental sounds like a lot more fun.

That’s an interesting take off story. Typical people paying to pilot a P51 at hanger 51 are not allowed to take off because of the P51’s easy torque roll. This bird is not called a Mustang for no reason. A fellow at my field bought one a few years ago, a two-seater.

Hi Not2
The only one I would recognize is Air Force One.
Did you know that Trump has ordered new planes for Air Force One and he is changing the colors for whomever becomes president in 2024.
