Once again, the United States has put the finest combat aircraft in the skies. It is our tradition that started with the P-51D Mustang, and has continued for decades. Our pilots are the best, and our aircraft are the best.

Wonder how long it would take a Raptor pilot to become an ace in a major engagement? 30 seconds?

P-51 was designed by, and built for the Brits, with a British engine.
