Spam is good bait for catching Carp and Barbel in my local river. Otherwise I would only eat it if I had eaten both my shoes and my belt.

I confess that I have not had SPAM for many years. It is time for me to "be a man" and get some first-hand experience so I can participate in this thread with a clean conscious. So I put it on the grocery list.
This elicited a "SPAM?! Why on earth do you want to eat SPAM?" from my Wife.

I just want you all to appreciate the personal sacrifice and derision that I undergo in order to be a productive member of this forum!

What do you think is the most iconic military weapon in the U.S. arsenal? The top three that come to my mind are:

B-17 Flying Fortress
Bell UH-1 Iroquois (Huey)
F-4 Phantom

I know arguments can be made for many others like the P-51, F-86, F-14/15/16. What do you think?

Since we're in the WW2 aviation forum, the choice from the above is ciear, the B-17 or P-51. The rest are ASB from a 1941-45 perspective.
