JohnB Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 I'd take a Dassault Falcon 7x, a P-51, and I'd keep my Mooney. Ok, I might throw in a PC-12 just for fun. Ha! Quote
Wildhorsesracing Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 I'd keep my mooney but add a biplane and a breezy and fly each one to 49 states just to say I did it! 2 Quote

I'd like to work with him! Just a mechanical engineer in regulated manufacturing, enjoying my license to learn. Dealing with FDA at work is not worse than dealing with the FAA on my own time . . .

DaV8or Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 This plane for my Caribbean addiction- These two planes for my Californian addiction- And this airplane to get between coasts- Or perhaps more realistic as single pilot- I kind of like these, "What would you get if..." threads a little more when there is parameters put on them. A good one a while back on anther board had the limitations that you could have any plane in the world tax free, but you could not sell it and you had to pay for the gas, storage and maintenance. 3 Quote
bonal Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I guess it really comes down to the definition of small lotto. Under 10 million keep the one I have with some real nice upgrades to the avionics. Retire and start my IFR. 10 to 20 mil a new Ovation or Acclaim. Over 20 Lanceair Evolution or that nifty L39 Albatross Quote

aviatoreb Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Here it is - if I win the lottery - I buy this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Grumman-Widgeon-TVs-Fantasy-Island-Boss-Boss-De-Plane-De-Plane-N4453-/301421388311?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123 Which is THE plane used in the 1970s TV show Fantasy Island. Zee-Plane-Zee-Plane-Boss! Read the story about it - after its TV plane apparently it was busted for running drugs. Now it is fixed up and looking stunning. Can you imagine that airplane all fixed up for two like a camper/rv - fly to the Bahamas and just stay in the plane, then in the summer fly to Maine and live in it. Then fly it to Norway for a few weeks. Etc.... Somehow flying over the ocean is not QUITE as scary in a twin that doubles as a boat. 1 Quote
Bluevalley Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Really big loto--- Boeing 757, flies just like a Mooney, pure fun! Quote
bumper Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 I've never, and will never buy a lotto ticket so I guess I won't be dreaming. The money I haven't wasted on all those lotto tickets I used to buy my Mooney 201, a Husky A1-B to play off field and camp the Idaho back country, and an ASH26E self-launch glider. Three very different and enjoyable ways to fly. 1 Quote
Wildhorsesracing Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 I took bumper's advice - I bought a Zenith 701 last week to add to my collection. Slow STOL fun in the 701 and fast travel in the Mooney. 1 Quote
Sfcrusscanter Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 One of the late model Beech 18's. I know this one is still out there, I just haven't found her yet. I found my old U-21A that the Army sold off, but I think the Beech 18's have more style. 1 Quote
FlyDave Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 I found the plane I would buy I'm just not sure if it's an airplane or an extremely high speed lawn edger.. 1 Quote
Wildhorsesracing Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 I found the plane I would buy I'm just not sure if it's an airplane or an extremely high speed lawn edger.. Sweet! But I can't help but think that if one of those engines quits then it quickly becomes a lawn dart! 1 Quote
