If you could have any Aircraft

Can't decide... too many awesome planes!

Do I want ultimate luxury? Fun? Big?

P51, DC3, Gulfstream, CitationX, then throw in all of those military choices...

I swear I would go broke even if I had Bill Gate's money.

LOL.....nah, I was wanting to mainly show what became of such a beautiful plane, as evidenced in the last pic.

Sad sight. But, they died where they were born and bred, at least.

EDIT: Also, I just noticed the cockpit photo. The bottom left of the pic is either coincidentally taken, or strategically taken so as to not reveal the aft portion of the left console.

Thanks!

[so as an aside, anyone in the Dothan/Ozark/Enterprise area want to do a few M&Gs in the next few months, I'm all game for it!]

Well, I'm up in the north end of the state, but if you ever get somethin rounded up, let me know. I'm game to drive or fly down!
 
Don't want to own one, but would certainly love to be paid to fly one and blow stuff up. Maybe Honduras will hire me to blow up Zelaya allies and I can also blow up Venezuelan incursions...

Round engines, no computers, 40 years old, 4 harpoons, 2 sidewinders, and a bomb bay....

Anyone who votes for a kerosene burning aluminum tube needs to turn in their pilot certificate AND their man card imeadiately.

Real airplanes have round engines, no computers, and are at least 40 years old. Having deactivated machine guns and requireing an LOA helps a lot.

By your definition, a P-51D just got ruled out.

I'd love to own an old Mustang.

If the P-3 had a tailwheel it would be perfect!

I envision me acting as a FAC, with gatling guns...once the people show their postions you can roll in with the P-3 and blow them to hell. It would be fun!

After the Hog, it was to this for the remaining 4 years and change. The cockpit of one, maintenance working on one. And their final disposition:

I just want to sit in there and flip all the switches, be just like a kid on christmas. So many things to play with I wouldn't know where to start...

.........and on Oct 28th, I head down to beautiful, humid southern AL to get trained on the first pic; which is handy because we also fly what's in the second pic:

Old Skool H-model to boot.....
