A nice thing happened yesterday.

I like the P-51 and think it's a classy looking, deadly airplane. That said, if a local airshow had both a Storch and a P-51, I'd go there for the Storch before the P-51. Familiarity does breed a form of contempt, and like Galway alludes to, the P-51 historical prominance has been covered and exagerated to the detriment of itself and other planes that were just as, if not more important to other countries.
