I 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.


I used to fuel the Howard 500 (N500HP) at Anoka County Airport while in high school (1997-2001).  It took ungodly amounts of 100LL.  I believe it's still on field although I haven't seen it for a while.

IF I COULD OWN ANY AIRCRAFT: Beechcraft King Air B200

Lancair Legacy or similar type. I would want something fast, 2 seat, retracts, and be clean aerodynamic wise.

I love the 1940s classics, the Ercoupe of which I canno't find a decent operating one for FSX.

Dude!  You were correct, that is a totally awesome "Coupe".  Indeed, I may be forced to turn over to x-planes

Personally... if I REALLY had the money and could afford it...

One of each the fighters from WWII, both allies and axis... beside the ME190 that I never liked (don't ask me why, don't know it myself, I simply can't make myself like it). :D

...and the F86 Sabre and the Mig 15 (the last pure dogfighters) too. ;)

If I really had to choose though... with a heavy heart because of all the beauties I had to leave behind, I guess it'd be the P51 Mustang (even a modern 1:1 replica would be fine). :)

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

Battlestar Galactica.

I'm not sure if it really counts as an aircraft though. I suppose it can go through the air?

Something fast.
An Sr-71
A Panavia tornado IDS looks cool with Phoenixes. All My enemies would be vanquished :o 8-)
And A few others ;)

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
