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.

There were working P-61s still in service in VN but none were allowed to go into private hands as they were just too hot a bird. When things started to go to you know where in a hand basket they were all brought back to D-M and immediately cut up for scrap. At least that's the word I've been told.
