The thing was low, fat, slow, tough as nails, hard to shoot down, and covered in machine guns. The Germans called it The Porcupine. It was that fucking awesome. The range was fantastic, considering the age. They were beasts.
I want one of my very own but that's pretty unrealistic.

Well you should get one anyway and park it in your garage. We can call ya 'Howard "TheBuddha" Hughes'!

That thing was awesome!
It's like the Volvo 245 of airplanes - except it's got machine guns.
Try as I might, I can't think of too many things more awesome.

I was never into seaplanes. But I'd have to say one of the very few I know ... a PBY Catalina. It saved a lot of lives in WWII and was also quite an anti-sub platform.
