I'd have the best decked-out 727 anyone has ever seen.

Starting with a thourogh D-check, HUD, new radios, new individual glass instruments (that still look like steam) new electric IPECO seats, the latest WX/Terrain radar, long-range tanks, HUSH kit installed, -217 engines, the best interior anyone has ever seen in a narrow-bodied jet, wet bar with seating, separate staterooms, etc. Leather and oak everywhere with crystal and china on the tables. The best beer and wine from all over the world, and a FO & FE and cabin crew on-call 24/7.

But it still would not have A/T nor FMS aboard.

Oh man, this will be tough. I have 5 I will choose.

Falcon 2000 ex EASY - I am around these thing, very luxurious and very agile for a corporate jet. Amazing plane by Dassult.

F4D Phantom - Have always loved the style of these things, very fast (said to be too fast for what it is used for) and they are a huge part of history.

SU - 27 Flanker - Probably my favorite plane. I think this is a beast, the looks, the speed, the agility. Amazing aircraft. There is one for sale too actually, the only one in the US, you can find it at controller.com for 4.9 million USD. Very, very nice plane.

F - 14 Tomcat - Swept wings, fast, widely used. Like the others, I have always loved these.

Corsair - Old WWII. The British Beast I say, very nice looking plane, I think better looking than the P - 51.

Whether you wanna go fishing in Alaska or visit Lukla... It will take you there 8-)

If i were going with the single engine, I kinda have to agree with this one.
STOL, but with some hauling ability to take some people or stuff.
Neat design. Not to big (like a Caravan) or too small (like the 206/210). Just the right size for me.
Good engine too.

If I were going  twin, I would say the new Viking Twotters.

If I were gonna stick with piston though, which is where I will more likely end up, I would like the Maule, with the see through doors, and the sunroof (By the way, I think a sunroof on a high wing plane is a no-brainer. The high vs low wing arguement always comes down to visibility. A highwing with a sunroof offers so much more in that arena.)
