Well, I am pretty lucky because I haven't won a lotto yet and I already get to fly a Pitts as well as an Extra regularly.

Cessna 195 for local flying, Cessna 421 for cross country, and a Bell UH-1 Iroquois because nothing on earth sounds like it.

For real! I'd add a Laser 300 or 2300 to my realistic list as well.

And a Cub.
