If you could own any aircraft what would it be?

[Sprocket]

Spent some time in Alaska and hoped to live there someday.

Used to watch a series here on TV called "Ice Pilots" running an airline in Alaska..and I really envy those peoples rugged lifestyles,
and where airplanes are the center of their world..

British civil registrations use G- followed by four letters, no numerals. Something like G-AJAN would be more realistic.

Good point thanks ...I'll duly change it to the proper format...I think maybe G-JANH, of which H is the first letter of my surname..

My own favourite private little aeroplane, which takes me to all sorts of exciting places!Paul.....G-BPLF...in on-line Multiplayer!

Not quite ready for multiplayer yet..I'm really a poor pilot so I don't know if I'll ever be

Aircraft Registration...>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_registration

Useful to know where aircraft originate from!

I change most of my "N" registered aircraft to "G" registered types!

On -Line Multiplayer: Lots of fun (and slightly educational) when you get someone to join you. Give it a try using FS Host...>>> http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/ all the details you need for FS 2002/FS 2004/FSX!

Cessna 310B (the model Sky King used to fly)

While we're dreaming, a Citation X (the world must look pretty wonderful at 51,000 feet)

Good on yer Sprocket, you might want to think about G-IJAN, being that it's you.

OK, changed them to G-JANI..

Heinkel 178. German jet aircraft prototype. First flew 8/27/39, 4 days before Nazi invasion of Poland. First jet aircraft to fly. Original destroyed by Allied air raid over Berlin in 1943. If Hitler had gotten a working jet fighter in the air any earlier than he did, so much the WORSE for humanity.

I always though that should I ever win the lottery i would buy a PBY - Catalina amphibian and circumnavigate the world in it! It was one of the planes my grandfather flew on in the war.

My great-grandpa worked on the production line at Consolidated's San Diego plant. By matter of coincidence, now my girlfriend's name is Catalina.

Big fat heavy: MD-11. No question about it. The GE-CF6-80c2s. In and out of anywhere important.
Bizjet: Citation Sovereign, because I work on them, and they're a great airplane. Or all out Global Express.
Fighter: F-15. Superiority at its pinnacle. No chance any attainable jet can take it.
Long range munitions delivery: the Rockwell B-1B. Awesome. Drops more than a B-52, and flies like a fighter jet.
Carrier ops: F/A-18E. Like it needs an explanation.
Old prop beauty: the Lockheed Constellation. Nuff said.

I'm not sure what purposes for choosing an airplane I may have missed, but for all I'd need one for, that'll do for me.

Hey, wahubna... we think alike! Now I wish one of the Creative types out there would make a Catbird for FS9/FSX/P3D! If someone did, that would be my #1 airplane!!

[bombardier]

hello to you: the jets I like to fly:

a B-17 I would like to fly. my dad was a navigator/bombardier on one of those B-17s. and a A380 and make it into an flying rv. with some modifications in the passengers cabin. I also like B777 up there near the top where A380 is. I would say A380 first and B777 second that I like to fly.

First thought, a P-51D. But if I suddenly became wealthy and had to get some personal air transportation with room for some friends I think the Grumman Gulfstream turboprop would be my choice. Hopping into the Gulfstream with three or four pretty young female friends for a trip to the Bahamas seems like the perfect way to spend a weekend.

If I was to choose one plane it would have to be the Cirrus SR22. Something about the side stick instead of a yoke and the general shape of the aircraft appeals to me.
