I didn't have time to watch the vid, but is it like the US plans to use the Skyraider and Super Tucano for drone defense?

Unfortunately will probably never come to fruition on any meaningful scale. Just looks like a couple of people driving it!

It would be pretty cool if they eventually made replicas of all of those planes for sale to the general public

The Spitfire and the Mustang are my favorite World War II fighters. I've had the pleasure of seeing both in flight a couple of times during airshows in New Orleans. It was awesome!

They wouldn’t have a clue because they never flew against a composite spitfire.

As did I. I keep talking myself away from trying to find one like I drove in HS. I’m not enough of a car guy to have the knowledge and enjoy it enough to keep it in good driving condition. But man it was fun to drive.
