I would take the F4U Corsair or even the p-47 in combat over any other plane -41-45.

Propably the best fighter among those. Compare it to bf109 of the same era or the fw190, or even the russian LA-5 and onwards, it doesn't stand a chance.

I do not know of anyone promoting this show in the USA, but try a google search on Classic Fighters Marlborough, or Warbirds Over Wanaka, and you should find sights for these shows.

Where can I get more info on this show in the USA?

This show was at Omaka Airfeild near Blenheim, New Zealand. The next big show here is not due until Easter weekend 2009. These planes and more will probably be in the Warbirds over Wanaka Airshow, at Wanaka New Zealand Easter weekend 2008. They are wonderful aircraft and excellent displays, but there is so much more available in the USA, UK and Europe.

the p51d was rated the best fighter on the millitary channel. the sopwith,phantom,spitfire,sabre and f15 were in the ranks. love all the warbirds and the men that flew them.

The 2009 show will blow all the other show away im a part of it and know of some aircraft that will be there for it.

The P40s flew with the Harvards at one point at the 2007 - they sounded much meaner!
