Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:16 pmI'll start! If I could own any plane it would be a...North American F-86 Sabre, preferably in bare aluminium.

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:47 pmI would love to have a Howard 500. My grandfather used to have one (he sold it before I was born), and I've loved it since I flew the Milton Shupe one for FS2004.
Edit: I'll go ahead and put my favorite from each category.
GA Plane: Already have a 185 on floats, Piper Cub, and Ryan SCW, so I'll go with a Cessna 195.
Business Jet: Citation X
Airliner: 727-200
Turboprop: Pilatus PC-12 or PC-21
Fighter - Piston: Also already have a P-51, so I'll go with a Hawker Sea Fury.
Fighter - Jet: Want an F-22, but I'll stick with aircraft possible to get, so... either a Harrier or F-104.
Bush Plane: Fiesler Storch

Those things are worth mega $$$$! Very rare too!

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:57 pmMy pretty little Cessna 150 Aerobat would suit all my touring needs, with the minimum of expense in hangarage, maintenance, and running costs... [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]...!

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 3:10 pmI'd like a Spitfire but failing that a Tiger Moth would do nicely. I'd even settle for a little RV-8.

Tucano for turbo prop
Baron 58 for multi-engine
Edge 540 for specifically aerobatic
Eurofighter for off-the-scale coolness and jet engine.

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 6:09 pmGood evening...
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

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 7:12 pmI'd like an MD 530F. Those things are beautiful! [smiley=happy.gif]
Re: If you could own any aircraft what would it be?
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:43 amI really enjoyed the righthand seat of a Cessna 210 a number of times years ago.
There is a company in the US that is overhauling airframes and avionics on older 210's and I'd look there first but I do occassionally look around the used market.
I could get a reasonable one for US$230,000---if I HAD US$230,000 of course.

Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:49 amGA: An Extra 300 would be fun.
Business: Tough choice... Probably a Citation X. Looks decent, goes fast, fair amount of room
Airliner: Tu-144! Amazing plane!
Military:
WWI: Fokker Dr.I! Who wouldn't want to think of themselves as the Red Baron?
WWII: Really tough choice here. It'd come down to the FW-190, P-38, P-47 F4U, or Me-262. More leaning towards the FW-190, P-38 or F4U.
Cold War: F-86. No questions!
Vietnam: F-104, F-8, or MiG-21!
Post-Nam: SR-71, F-16, A-10, F-15, Su-27, Su-35, Su-37, Su-47, MiG-29, MiG-35, MiG-31, Etc
Oh, and a C-17 would be pretty nifty too...

Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:23 amMy dad flew one of those WWI planes in France a long time ago, and he said they were absolutely awful. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to fly it in battle.
