Wow Tbag, that must have been a great experience. I was at the Great State of Maine airshow a couple years ago and was pawing over the B-25 'Panchito' that was part of the display. There was an older man there and he identified himself as a pilot, but then he says "I didn't fly these though, oh no, I was a B-26 pilot" and I say "The Marauder?" and he says "Yes, now that was a real combat airplane!" Granted, the airplane that brings you home is the airplane that you are going to love, but to see the confidence, the bravado in this man of 80+ years, I felt lucky to be in his presense!
