“my other airplane is a….”

I’m pretty fond of this one

not exactly sure why it exported upside down, but its ok since i’m wearing a parachute

 

Clearly an aerobatic plane…!

Is this you rbp?

 

 

[carusoam]

Not sure when Mooney will build my next plane…

But, while waiting…

I like the machines that got modified by Rocket Engineering…

Next stop… Turbine….  
 

Find the thread where people posted what their other plane(s) are…

The cool thing about an LB… it is great preparation for your next plane…

There are about a half dozen MSers that have gone turbine after long term ownership of a Mooney…

PP thoughts only, long past retiring… or long time until I retire…. I’m not sure which…

You don't even need to watch the video, just turn up the volume and listen.

Ahhhh

CG,

This is the MSer mentioned above with the C195…

good to have two planes… especially traveling around Canada…

One for speed and efficiency… and the other one.

Best regards,

Second an Aerostar.  Love how they look, love how the fly.

Plus the fact the Aerostar was manufactured by Mooney under licence for a period of time.

[carusoam]

There is a YouTuber that recently bought an Aerostar… and has a few videos about his early ownership experience…

Nice plane…

I prefer the single big engine….  Two engines aren’t friendly to my mission…. 

Best regards,

I've always loved the look of the staggerwing. When we were at OSH in 2021 we walked up and down the row of them, beautiful planes.

If money were no object - Super Cub

If money were an object - I think I would enjoy a Decathlon

I’d have to go with the P51 as well. 
2-1/2 hours of dual, the most fun I’ve ever had with my pants on.

Next time wear shorts, and get the best of both.

[McMooney]

hmm, let me see.

 

Diamond DA-62

Cessna T337

Commander 1000

phenom 300e

cessna cj4+

etc...

 

[carusoam]

 

 

Both are Commander 1000s…

One is very affordable…  

 

I had a customer based in Mexico…

He used his Mooney to travel between factories…

Until he bought a twin jet Commander… gave his brother the Mooney!

GREEDY

It was pick 1 plane lol

D17S. Nice Beechcraft staggerwing. A cool 350-500k

Lancair propjet. A bit over a mil.

Aerostar…it ain’t the acquisition costs…

Truth be told I stopped at St Angelo and that T38 nasa was flying wouldn’t be a bad deal. And you can even buy them in the open market - heck. I’ve even seen a4 scooters for sale…

Some nice polished Beech 18’s outthere…how many hundreds of gallons of fuel per flight?

I’d take paul Allen’s former mig29…

MiGs look suicidal… even the Russian government can’t keep theirs flying…

If a BIG lottery, I would contact those guys in NZ and have them do a Mosquito Mark VI for me.

What is better than a Merlin?

TWO Merlins.

Always and forever an LX7. I almost bought a Lancair over a Mooney to begin with but ultimately my better judgement prevailed. The LX7 is out of my price range but by far the best plane in existance imo. Hopefully a few year from now the older versions will come down in price.

As much as it might be fun to squeeze an F-35 into my hangar, the lack of luggage space makes me reconsider it. 

Put me down for a Super Cub on straight floats. And a turbine LX-7 to get me from my hangar to somewhere near the water. 

That's what the hard points are for.  That's where you attach the luggage pods.

For my collection of go slow machines:

A ballon.

A small blimp.

A tundra tire something....

Europcopter

For my water machine

Grumman Goose

For my collection of fast machines

TBM960

G6 - or like a G6 - so I can go to Europe quickly

For my make my friends throw up machines

Extra 300

L39

P51

That should do it.  For now.

If I was filthy stinkin rich I would likely have 20 planes, but more realistic is 2 or 3.

No doubt. I can’t imagine the army of mechanics you would need to get it in the air, or the untold hours of maintenance that an hour of playtime would require. But it looks like a blast
