If I could own any aircraft in the world it would be this one......yeah, I know it's no longer in service and it's thirty years old but the Bell 222B was perfect for "Airwolf"!!!! BTW, I'm new and I will introduce myself in the proper forum tomorrow. But I will say this:

Name: Tony Trout
Age: 38
Health Status: Disabled since birth with Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus

My one dream: To ride in a Bell 222B (such as the one below).

I'm tickled to be here!!

Well, I do love my Vintage Radial Engine Propliners, but, for the kind of traveling I have in mind and thinking of affordability somewhat,, I'd have to settle for the Classic Boeing 747-SP / Special Performance model, that's shorter than the rest of the 747 models.

I like to have lots, lots of room during those long flights and be comforatable and have a nice bedroom and kitchen and Big TV's, while Miss Hot Blonde rubs my back and stuff :D

Daisy my other Pilot would Fly me around in my 747, while I just lounged, as we'd head to Monte Carlo, Morrocco, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Bahamas, Carribean, Aruba, all the fun places out of the cold winter coming up !

I'd actually settle for this one right here , would be fine with me !

taking Donations if anybodys interested ???

lotta donations !

I'll send ya post cards :D :D

Hi Sprocket, Ice Pilots is actually a Canadian TV show that is filmed in Yellowknife. It follows the trials and tribulations involved with running Buffalo Airways in -40C weather with a mix of airplanes from the DC-3, DC-4, C-46 and on to the Lockheed Electra etc etc. I watch it every season. They just started a new season and it looks good so far.
By the way, we went to Alaska a couple of times. Once by LearJet 31A and once by ship. I really really love Alaska. We will return.

I would like to trade my imaginary Flight Sim Cessna 150 Aerobat for a nice new (or second hand) Yamaha XVS Dragstar 250/650 Vee-Twin Cruiser Motorcycle.
(Or a nice (cheap) Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster).

What have you?

I now feel safer on the ground, rather than up in the air!... ;) ...!

Pilot other than who?
How many flight engineers does a 747-SP need, especially one designed for light private jet payload and suitably increased fuel volume?

Apparently cannot find edit (or quote) buttons on posts now...

Regarding that
*747SP
*bedroom
*miss Hot Blonde
*rub your back and stuff
Do you mean you want a night (and all other nights) in Paris? That specific Miss Hot Blonde, in a specifically 747SP bedroom:

Dream Big....The Hughes Hercules. I would tour it, live on it, and if I could not get it airworthy, I would turn it into the most Grand Night club of all. Formal attire required. <<v

It would have to be a Cirrus SR22 or a Samba XXL microlight.

If I could get one, it would be a Lake Buccaneer. Great little Amphib, smaller brother to the Renegade. Fuel consumption is about 10Gph. God knows who in Canada could afford to gas up any airplane right now.
