L39 Albatross? I have flown in them and maintained them. Crewed one at the Reno Air Races
That's me in the sunglasses

all-time GOAT. Also are there any professional air races like NASCAR or f1?

Not really - the big races with old warbirds are held once a year. There are sporadic formula races held in various parts of the country

It is and there's a lot you can do with it, but the older L29 actually turns better and can be modified to go as fast if not faster

Air racing has been around for a long time. It was a lifelong dream of mine to get into it. In 2015 I was on a team where we has 2 jets, one took second in the gold division, the other took first in the silver division (my jet)

Pretty awesome! There's a lot of P 51s that are modified. There's something about the sound of their engines that attracts a lot of people. The Jets are faster and the jet noise is cool but some people think it sounds like a toilet flushing

any flying Italian planes ?

Someone brought a little Aermacchi jet the last year I was there. Compared to the rest of the field it wasn't very fast, the owner brought it more for show than anything else. I know of no Italian warbirds like fighters from World War II flying in the United States right now, the MB 339 Has been operated by a civilian test pilot school in Mojave California, those birds came from South Africa if I recall

OK - why do you say that without knowing the rules and types of jets that race there???
Listen, the aviation world doesn't revolve around everything Italian. Italy makes some really good aviation products and a few that really suck!!! Your east coast Italian bias really shows!!!!
