What aircraft do you prefer and why?
Keep in mind this model Spitfire was towards the end of the war and not as per the Battle of Britain. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm a Fokker Dr-1 person but have a soft spot for the Spitfire thanks to my English grandmother Of course these will destroy all of them Image Unavailable, Please Login
If you compare models to models its very close. I've read articles were pilots whom flew both said similar things ie Mustang had range longe range escort aircraft Spitfire had a better climb rate speed of both similar Dive Mustang better Spitfire better turning circle Roll rate Spitfire In a dogfight the Spitfire. All comes back to personel taste.
I love both but there's something about the P-51D that makes it one of m favourite aircraft of all time.
both winners,I like the Spitfire for it being British,but the P51 just has that tough look about it,more modern looking plane?
Absolutely! Two of the best, no doubt. Yes, I think the P-51D is a seriously beautiful aircraft, which doesn't hurt its overall appeal. A friend's dad regularly flies the RAAF museum P-51 and has also flown a spitfire, and from memory he prefers the Mustang.
