The one with the best pilot.

How about both flying together?
I shot this yesterday at a WWII airshow.
>>30173228
The Corsair looks better, so it's the best.
>>30176888
Go away Johnny.
No one likes you Johnny.
>>30176888
Was it the one in Reading Pennsylvania?
>>30173228
>>30176920
Yes, that was the one. It's the largest WWII show in the U.S. This year there was a really rare Mosquito there - the twin engine plane made of wood.
>>30176919
Why don't you try providing something of value?
>>30176958
Ayyyy that show was the bomb. I wasn't there this year, but I have gone in previous years
>>30176973
It's kind of the same show year after year. Each year about 10% of the show is different. This year there were no Japanese ground actors, but, there was a Chinese group. The Mosquito was new this year, but, there was only one b17. The P61 keeps moving along. Two years ago there were no engines or props, this year there were engines and props.
It was a good time, again, and really hot there yesterday. The rain held off so it made for a pretty good day.
I shot about 200 photos there. Here are a few, including the unplanned passes by the MD ANG A-10s. Sorry, 4chan does not like google photos short URLs

Of course it depends on the situation but I'd take the Corsair over the Mustang most of the time. It has the edge in maneuverability and weapon load.
Also, it's probably better to be in a Corsair than a Mustang if someone is shooting at you because of the internal fuel tanks taking up most of the fuselage of the Mustang and because im pretty sure the Corsair had more armor plating. The only mission type where I would take the P-51 over the F4U would be long range escort.
Also the Corsair is sexier.
>>30173228
I believe that the BG4U in picrelated would be more than a match for either.
>>30177003
looks like fun
>>30177151
Yeah, but that's a big plane.
>>30177209
last year's show with more ground display photos

Why was the B-17 so shiny? Why didn't they camo it up a bit, especially with RADAR barely being a thing?
>>30177268
Don't know, there have been others there that were dark/drab. I guess I could see reasons for it being unfinished and polished aluminum
>>30177268
Paint adds weight.
>>30176919
fuck off I like Johnny
>>30176958
don't listen to him Johnny

More of the same from the stage 4 cancer that's killing this place.
>>30177488
If you don't like then leave, it's not like you can change it
>>30176899
What are you talking about? They're both sex as fuck.
>>30177499
Beat it cancer.
>>30176958
Kermit weeks owns a Mosquito, has a 3 part "tour" of it. To bad its siting in a museum instead of being flight worthy
