So you just won the lottery...

They would probably build me one for $200,000,000 right?
 
Oh I'd probably just keep working at my joaAAHAHAHA!

I would buy a UH-1H, door guns included, and run out my days using it to rob travelling vehicles on the more remote stretches of the highways. But it's OK because I'd do it like Robin Hood, going after only other smugglers and the rich ... in my helicopter. That might just cover the cost of fuel.

Look out, AIR PIRATE!!!

I'll take the boat with me, thanks. :)

I'll throw in a C-90GT for the day to day stuff. Nice to dream.
 
The Icon baffles me. Dont get me wrong it looks fun... but how they got this reputation as being all cutting-edge revolutionary is strange. With all the videos and marketing and press and TV shows... it's still just an another piston amphib?

Sports car cockpit = innovation?:confused:

You'll have to win the Powerball twice to buy one of those..................o_O

That or invest it very wisely for a few years then buy used.

Not to mention the panel. Not the traditional 6 pack but more of an auto feel. That might take some getting used too...
 

Only $175k!? Looks like I'm going into the franchise business.

Why, I could just patrol along I-15 between L.A. and Vegas, swooping-off with the Ferraris, Porsches, and other nice cars that surely must be in that corridor. Then hire those guys out of Tucson with the C-123 to deliver them over to parvenu Saudis.

Hell, it would be worth it just to have an aerial bullhorn hooked up to an MP3 player. Or do that thing where you're picking someone up, and just as they're about to reach the door, takeoff and land 50 feet away. And when they walk over there, takeoff and land somewhere else nearby again, over and over.

I probably shouldn't have any helicopters.

1. Like waking up to napalm in the morning much?
2. Best prank ever.
3. What do I need to do to join your crew?
 
Buy an airplane? No thanks. This would be my first big purchase:

Beautiful boat! When my dad was working at Derecktor shipyard I got to go see some of their creations, and they really know how to build a boat.

I have a hard time deciding between these three boats.

The Nordic Tug is elegant and good for cruising.

Something like this for exploring Southeast Alaska.

Or something like this for fishing. It has the bow for big seas and a nice deck.

Interesting choice of pictures. Those guys appear to be slinging M-14s and have no netting on their helmets. What is that like 1966? You really are in to getting in on the ground floor. You gonna be blasting "Great Balls of Fire" whilst you swoop? Doesn't have the same effect. I know, I've tried it.

Derecktor? You a New Englander too?

Nope. Derecktor built a ferry for the state of Alaska, and my dad was the supervisor for the build. So the family moved to Connecticut for a year.
