If they still existed I'd add the P-61 Black Widow Night Fighter.

The P-61 is my all time favorite WWII aircraft, followed closely by the P-38.

Gotta love radar acquired targets and enough firepower to knock anything that flew out of the sky with one pass. As you can tell I also like the twin tail boom thing.

You may get a chance. The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Reading PA has a P-61B that they are restoring to flying condition. You can read about it here, and see some more pictures here
