Iv only road in two different planes a big one and a little 13 passenger and i liked them both but when the big one came down in vegas it took almost 4 hours to get my ears to pop and i tryed everything! But the little on took us out to the grand canyon and that one flew lower and my ears didnt pop then! My other favorite is the ones that dont crash! LOL

I must be old fashioned as I like the open cockpit planes. My favorite is the 101 Stearman Biplane. Still kicking myself for passing one up in '69 for $1500.

to answer Glenn, I had a commercial Airplane, single and multiengine land, rotorcraft helicopter, instrument, airplane instructor and instrument instructor, advanced and instrument ground instructor tickets at one time.
My ideal aircraft would be a UH-1H, a TH-55T in helicopters, and a Cessna 180, An American Tiger, or a Piper Pacer.

Sorry for you guy's but I prefer the superb Messerschmidt BF109-Gustav as first for the prop's
A plane that was born in 1935 witch the most modern and technically advanced was on unkown class on it's own. At that time there wasn't any other plane that was equivalent

Also I have always a love for the Russian fighters. The looks of this Sukhoi SU-34

OK, I'll admit it - this is different. But I worked on it at Boeing as an engineer in the late 70's and I thought it was going to be very cool... until the project was cancelled.

Anything faster than 400 knots indicated, room for 6, and 300lbs of luggage, fully fueled!!! I am thinking the new Citation X would be just fine!!!

You'd prolly want one of these then...
I know it cruises at a little bit slower of a speed then what you want, but it can also take off and land on shorter run ways, which means you can get into more places others can't...

Thanks, but I changed my mind, 210 was too slow, he he he Besides if we are talking dreams, dream big right?! :-) I can always by the cub for low level stuff, if I have enough money to keep the Citation aloft

I was in High School during the Korean War and I can remember sitting in class daydreaming and sketching pictures of the F-86 Sabre-Jet.
I thought they were the most beautiful thing in the world; well.........

Always wanted a P40 Warhawk painted up in the Flying Tigers colors. The F4U Corsair is absolutely awesome. Just need to win a couple of lottery jackpots.
Most of my flying is in a Piper Aztec and a Piper Seneca. On occasion I fly a Cessna 402 and 414. Sometime within the next few weeks, I am supposed to fly an Aero Commander back from Caldwell, Idaho.
As far as fun flying, it is hard to beat a tail wheel airplane.
As a flight instructor, I have had the oppertunity to fly many different aircraft. I have flown part 135 but perfer part 91 because there rules are looser and NO DUTY LOGS.
If anyone needs a flight review or instrument check let me know. My ratings are CFI, CFII and MEI. Also have ground instructor ratings.

I did get to fly the DC-8 (unofficially 1-time) - I was a pretty new at the air line and it was driving the Captain nuts that I was never going to get to fly "the queen of the skies". ... that's as close as I got to a Convair 880 era aircraft.
In addition to my type ratings, I do have seat time in a couple of airplanes that are in limited use these days: L-1011 & 727. I flew a H-53 once - flying a helicopter is a guilty pleasure. Ha! I really enjoyed flying that thing around.
Never been supersonic - closest I've gotten is .86 Mach.
I did have a P-3C at 395 knots at 200 feet over New Jersey in 1985.
Best regards,
Scott

I was completely unfamiliar with that aircraft and the company that made it. Thanks for letting be know about it so I could check it out via Google.
Best regards,
Scott
