I've always liked planes, especially the third one down (FF-850), it reminds me of World War II. (It's probably a WWII plane)

It's a Mustang. Jack Roush's favorite too.

P-51 Mustang. The plane that helped win the war in the Pacific! My Father was a Mustang pilot during WWII.

There is a company in Southern Oregon that makes replicas of the P-51, and they even have a turbine powered version!

The P-51's merlin does make a sweet sound. The polished aluminum twin is a Lockheed 10 the same type Amelia Earhart was lost in attempting to fly around the world.
