This one flies in Oz, Callsign "Rowe UFO, 10-8675"

You have to be really bored to build such thing :lol:

In terms of flying, spinning is not an issue ;)

I fly a boat when I’m not in the Mooney.....but hey is got “twins” at 210hp a side.

Each one of the boat engines is similar in HP to the m20j. The 201 turns 142ish Kts on 8gph, the 10,000lb searay runs about 25kts.....on 8gph........oh wait, there is 2 engines turning on the boat to go 25kts, correction 16 gallons per hour to go 25kts.......

But .....hey I can have a drink on the boat .

I fly this AutoGyro Calidus. It’s a blast. ADS-B in/out, Dynon Skyview . If I’m not in a hurry, and flying solo less than a couple hundred miles VFR it’s my usual ride. It’s a tandem two seater so my brother can fly with me.

You're in Minnesota. State law says you must own a boat so that you can use it on that week they call summer . . lol (I can say that since I grew up in MN. Beautiful boat by the way)

Coolest other airplane on MS!

How long of a driveway would I need...?

Solo it takes about 300 ft to break ground, double that with a passenger or to clear 50 ft obstacle.  0-20 ft rolls on landing are pretty common. Remember, no vertical take offs, no hovering, no negative G maneuvers. Great for that solo burger mission! Ray

The 787 pays the the bills, so I can fly a Mooney, play in the mountains of Colorado and restore a classic car.  The wife’s job, DEN tower controller, does help support my transportation “habits”.  :)

I’ve never seen a Gulfstream configured like that. Looks neat. Battle Creek does amazing work. Best work I’ve seen out of any shop. 
Currently flying a really nice Falcon 50EX also Director of maintenance.

Yes, very interesting.  If the G-IV isn't being flown on charter or family trips it means that 4-8 grown adults don't get the "pleasure" of sitting in the small couch seats.
