Perfectly legal without the guns.
Fighter planes are very popular with racing.
Lots of folks love their MIG 19s and other "vintage" jets. (No guns allowed.)

If you can afford to purchase and maintain a WW2 bomber, more power to you. Obviously, you cannot have the bombs or machine guns.

In general, no civilians are getting SAWs. Machine guns are heavily restricted at the federal level and in many states. There is nothing special about their ammo. Military spec rifle ammo is great for the gun range and target shooting, and it used to be quite cheap to purchase.
