I flew Harriers when I was in the Marine Corps. They were a lot of fun, but you definitely had to stay focused to keep it out of the ditch. Here’s a picture of me launching off the BHR in 2013.Originally Posted by SteyrAUG

If I had a Wayback Machine, I would be flying Corsairs.

Yeah, seemed to be good for surprise attacks and taking on dated designs like the P-40, but even the AVG learned how to play the game, but once modern US designs came about, especially the F4U the zero sen was pretty much done for.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Man I have a lost but if I had to choose just one, it’s the Spitfire XIV. Supremely agile and a climb rate that would outgain even some 1950’s jet fighters.
Others would be the F14D, SU-37 Terminator, and the F86.
I paint spaceship parts.

If it got too warm are the ocean just fly up and cool off or go even higher and chill the beer.

It's that simple.

That is so cool. Like the definition of cool. Like you can’t use a metaphor to describe how cool it is, because it is cooler than the metaphor.

ShinMaywa US-1 or a Beriev Albatross or Altair might be better bets for boat-on-bird. The Japanese bird IIRC already has a side hatch for launching boats since it's a dedicated SAR platform, and IIRC the Russians did something similar with their two since they were meant to dual-role between SAR and maritime patrol.

As a young Marine I was fascinated by the Harriers, especially on float. All-time fave however is the A-10, that would be my wayback machine choice.
