Basically what is your "dream plane" that you wish you could someday own? I have two: The Cessna Grand Caravan Amphib. with cargo
pod and executive 6 pax cabin. Number two is: The Embraer Legacy 600; clearly the best private jet ever made. Wink

Well you CAN own a 747...it's not recomended but you can own one. Travolta has a 737 or 777...cant remember which but while he was
filming some movie, he would fly from his house to the set every week(they had weekends off so he would fly back home friday night and
go back to the set sunday night)

Actually I think Travolta owns a 707

And for me, would have to be just a run of the mill Cessna Citation X or Gulfstream G5. Nothing too fancy

I've always wanted an older bird - if I've ever got the money or the time, I think it could be a lot of fun to restore one.

I have two. The first would be either an F4U Corsair or a P-47 Thunderbolt. There's something about three rows of radial pistons.
Yaarrrrrr! Those engines are all that is man! They run on testosterone and bourbon. I'd love to have one of those old warbirds and fly it
around from show to show. And to scare all of my farming neighbors with fake strafing runs on their tractors!

On a more practical (and realistic) note, I'd love a Cessna 195, circa 1950 or so. It's a big GA plane, plenty of room for a family, and once
again, has a got a radial engine (although this one only turns up about 300hp, compared to thousands). The biggest problem is an
availability of parts -- there were only about 1100 of them originally made, and nobody makes radial engines anymore Down

. Oh yeah, it
swills gas too. But if you've ever heard a radial engine start up....it's worth it!

Being realistic the Beechcraft Baron would be perfect, with 5 or 6 seats for the family.

He also has a CT-114 Tutor... well he got the version sold by Singapore but it's a Tutor nonetheless.

For me, I'd be quite happy with a King Air... that would be more then enough for my needs! I'd also like an Extra just for fun Smile

Hmm forgot about the older planes.

Definitely an F4U Corsair or a P51D Mustang which to me has the most awesome scream of any engine known to man in regards to
flying machines
