The baddest WWII fighter ever..
19:1 kill ratio. No other plane in any era has a better kill ratio.
Happy 2015!

P-51's did the same thing to 109 and 262 jets!
(Although P-51's couldn't actually OUTCLIMB those jets, they used
the tactic of flying higher than the jets and swooping down for the kill.)
Damn you're good!

BTW - Jack Roush, the NASCAR Team Owner, has a personal P-51.
He flew in Korea.

Had Hitler knew anything about Aviation, the ME 262 would have outclassed anything in the sky and we would be speaking German today. The German's were so far ahead of us technology wise it was not even funny.
But Hitler wanted to use the 262 for something it was not designed for. He even went so far as to put a 50 MM cannon on the front of them. He wanted to use them as bombers. They were pure dogfighters, the 262 would kick the Mustang's ass on any given day.
Happy 2015!

and just so you know, the 262's kill ratio was 5:1.
The 262 was a badass plane.

yeah bro, but they weren't INVINCIBLE. We learned how to take 'em down.
The Raptor and JSF on the other hand....they have at LEAST a 15 year reign.
