I always liked the F6F Hellcat. Not glamorous, kind of stubby looking with that big radial engine, but it was the first fighter we had that could dogfight with the Zero. It was also well armored, tough and could take the punishment and get back home.

Like the Jug in the ETO, the Hellcat was the workhorse of the PTO.





For you guys that like the A-10, we have a squadron of them at Gowen Field in Boise. It's very common to see pairs of them out practicing on a Saturday morning. These were taken from the other side of the airport on a hot day earlier this month as I went out to see the B-29 they had on exhibit there.
