Yes, yes it will. More interesting than these bums anyway.... Below the belt?
 
Yes, also an illegal blow in boxing, and kickboxing. Don't do it, and don't bite peoples ears off, Tyson I'm looking in your direction...
 
That'd be funny if he did, I'd have to give him abuse for the whole trying to eat Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield.
 
Back to the topic, I don't think you can have bad picks in this forem. Favorite planes are purely a matter of opinion and there is no reason you can't like a sucky plane.
 
Bader's choices are very good, especially Mosquito first....true Commonwealth good taste ! - I note with interest that in one of the Ta 152 versions, they were trying-out an engine-mounted Mauser MG 213 cannon, which was remarkable in that it featured interchangeable barrels and rotating chambers, and could be adapted for either 20mm or 30mm ammunition.- They were so keen on them, they had a planned production rate of 4000 by the end of 1945...- Also, out of 150 odd Ta 152H-1's that left the factory in Jan.1945, they in fact operated alongside Fw 190D's and others, -[no special Gruppen] - JG 301 had some, but most were destroyed by strafing. - They also had a Ta 153, another hybrid Fw 190-type, that was to become a 'High-performance Fighter'....- Capt. Eric Brown, the Farnborough Test-pilot, believed that the Ta 152's were possibly the fastest piston-engined Fighter of the War...certainly a credit to German ingenuity....and then was the Ta 154, the 'German Mosquito', potentially another good aircraft that was wasted through inconsistent development and bureaucracy....
