In 1948 pilots of the new state of Israel were flying Messerschmitt 109’s & shooting down Egyptians flying British Spitfires.

I'd put my money on the Ford Mustang.

the war was the culmination of longstanding tension over immigration and land reform
How about a few Mustangs and Corsairs patrolling our border to alleviate the longstanding tension over immigration.

If there were gun cameras on these planes, it would make for some thrilling footage on one of the cable military channels.

One of the Honduran F4U-5N made it back to the states, was restored to flying condition, and was a featured plane at a aviation museum I volunteered at. I cleaned the oil off the cowl of that radial several times!

They had a P-51 at an airshow before they closed BNAS.

It was sitting over on the runway idling...exhaust popping and backfiring...sounded like the ultimate bad-ass hotrod.
