I love the Hawker Huricane and Supreme Spitfire. But I also have a soft spot for the "flying coffin" the Brewster Buffalo.

Well for me there can be only one - it's right there in my sig line. I've had "a think for the wing" ever since I saw my first one as a child, while visiting the Northrop plant with my Step Dad, they were being cut up for scrap at the time, but I did get to see one fly. Now a days I get to visit it's little brother the N9M at Chino Planes of Fame (it flys at all the air shows).
