P-51...p-41 (?)...

Here's a pic of a P-61 for your enjoyment!

Because they're COOL!

I had one once...in 1/72nd scale.

That p-61 black widow is awesome! I don't think I've ever seen one.

That last one reminds me of a plane I idolized in my childhood; the plane from Disney's Tail Spin!

Speaking of twin boom aircraft, I used to see these flying over Columbus back when I was little:

Some were in Desert Storm, though I didn't see any there. I did see the Warthogs though.

OV-10s are cool.

Others include the C-119 Flying Boxcar, the De Havilland Vampire (Britain's first jet fighter), the P-38 of course, and the lesser known F-82 Twin Mustang.

According to Wiki, the F-82 was the first plane to shoot down an enemy fighter in the Korean War: it bagged a Yak-11!

D1, I looked for "real life" twin boom seaplanes, but didn't find any.
