Country: | I see they have an airworthy Chipmunk. I'd much, much rather see the Canuck airworthy. We don't even have an airworthy Canuck in Canada that I'm aware of. 
Tons of static ones though. | |

Country: | It's kind of a stupid name for a plane if you ask me. I don't know of any planes called the Yank or the Limey. Do you?  | |

Country: | Nope, none that I know of. ALthough Yank would be a weird name for a plane. Not that Canuck isn't.

Country: | Perhaps the US should have imported the Yak 3 during the war Evan it could have been called the Yak Yankee and we could have should have called the imported P38 the Lockheed Limey
