I'd probably want a Pristine Lockheed Constellation 4 Engine Radial Propliner and a Huge Hanger with Air-Conditioning and Heat too,, so I can Park that Sucker in there and while I'm at it , I'd also like a huge supply of MONEY ( CASH) to Insure it and Afford the Fuel, because I'd be flying it all the time, gotta love the sounds of those Big Ol' Radial Engines ! My 1st Trip would be from like Miami to Hawaii and back to who knows where ?? the JetrangerImage

Boeing B-17. Or B-29. Or also B-24. Seeing a B-17 fly less than 1000 feet over your house is cool, but being in it would be even cooler!  :D

You may want to reconsider........The Superjet has just been grounded with flight control, gear and brake problems. It has been reported that this may kill off production......

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 1945. If Hitler had gotten a working jet fighter in the air any earlier than he did, so much the WORSE for humanity.

Best dang Bush and Light Utility Aeroplane in the world.

A DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 single radial engine Otter on amphibious floats and done up inside as a flying camper.

It would have to be painted fire engine red and be sitting on jet black amphibious floats.

HMMM....wonder if I could sell the old girl, all the children and grandchildren?   :o   ::)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug


Yup...there it is. The otter is where i'd spend my money! With amphib floats...how could you go wrong?

If I could own afford (and operate) any aircraft what would it be?

With my extremely limited resources, it would have to be a Bensen Gyrocopter...>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bensen_B-8

Anything else would just be wishful thinking!... :shock: ...!

My first choice would be a Curtiss P-40, sharks teeth and all. My second choice would be a Vought F4U Corsair.
I would have to say a Douglas C-47 would be in there somewhere. Jeezz, that's a harder question then I first thought!

OK!.. lets put it this way, if I hit the millions lottery and had my choice, those would be the three aircraft I would
be tossing around as first choices.

But if I could only get one plane period.... :think: .... I would choose the Dehavilland DHC-2 Beaver. One reason is that
your not limited to just runway landing. another reason is, I just like that plane.

Good question EJW!
