in reply to My favorite P38 is...

I had to toss a coin on this one because I could have gone with the airplane or the can opener. Ended up voting for the can opener.

When I was in the military I ended up with several SNCCs (Standard Navy Coffee Cups) full of the darn things (can openers) and left them behind except for a handful that I brought home. Now I wish I had just one of those SNCCs full as they were handy and in the 20+ years since I left Uncle Sam's Canoe Club I have lost all the ones I brought home due to attrition.

As to the airplane: just a little before my time so I fully appreciated it. Still it was one of the great aircraft.
