Scotty,
I think most would find the F-8
to have been a better fighter aircraft
than the P-51.

Industry
moved on to jets. The Mustang (among a few others) still
represents the
epitome of piston-engine airplane design. Plus... chicks
dig them.

[C'mon,
George, that's not fair. The F-8 didn't even hit the drawing boards until
'52 and it didn't enter service unitl '57... besides, it's not
prop-driven. Apples & oranges........

George,
Well, yes, still apples to oranges... But man, I
like your style!!! The Last of the Gunfighters is one helluva
airplane!
