Navy-Marine aircraft dream sheet: 1950s

[phrogdriver]

Aircraft of the USN/USMC circa 1950s that you'd most like to fly. We went through a bunch of T/M/S during this time, so I just put a representative spread, but if there's a big one I missed, please post it. Also, I'm trying to stay with aircraft associated with the '50s, so aircraft like the F-4 Phantom II aren 't on it, even though it flew in 1958.

F4D Skyray

F9 was what jets were supposed to look like at the time pretty machine IMO but where's the F8?

I thought about it. But it was so heavily identified with Vietnam, I thought it should stay in the 1960's poll.

Spad...No brainer.

Pops flew the P-2, so I know too many bad stories about them.....

I'll second the motion for the Spad.

Damn...I remembered the WWII and 'Nam ones. Didn't know we'd done the 50's.
