Your wildest dream...

[Greg Bockelman]

A DC-3... and I'll fly it single pilot because I am a Rebel

This. I have always wanted a DC-3 type rating.

With those limitations it would be either the Piaggio Avanti or the Pilatus PC-12. Since I'm paying for fuel it would probably have to be the PC-12.

I know, not as exciting as a P-51 Mustang, but then I could take people and stuff with me, which is how I tend to fly.

 

[Timbeck2]

I've gotta pay for the gas and the ratings? What kind of freakin' dream IS this?

Mine . If you don't like it, get your own dream!

 

[Timbeck2]

That's no dream, that's a nightmare.

Pilatus PC-24. A jet that can get in and out of 3,000 feet of grass and haul lots of stuff? Hell yes!

Oh, it has to be actually certified and in the market? Well then, a King Air 200 with Blackhawk engines and all the Raisbeck mods.

Oh, and I still have to work for the fuel? Sigh. I'll go with the DA62. Still fast enough to get me places, but economical enough that I can do it more often. Hauls an OK load and looks sexy.

 

[SkyDog58]

Yep. Something very nice on amphib floats or a flying boat.... maybe the Albatross from the houseboat thread.

Aerostar

 

[tspear]

Aerostar

Oh good one. I miss mine, but after a two years, I started to think of the fuel cost before I pulled the plane out of the hangar. I knew it was time to sell it.

DA-62 or a TBM 850 w/glass panel

Edited to add: Does anyone else think the DA-62 would be amazing if pressurized?

 

[Skyrys62]

Its amazing unpressurized...so heck yeah.

 

[genna]

I wonder how one gets type certification on this? Also, does this qualify as a "plane"?

 

[genna]

So far we've got:
DA62
SR22
Aerostar
Pipers: Malibu, Mirage, Matrix, Meridian
Baron
C310
C207
Acclaim
A36
DC3
Velocity V-Twin
PC12
Beaver
Globe Swift
Super Cub
TBM 850
P51

Also: Concorde, SR71, and old, used Enterprise(didn't they crash that thing?)

 

[Skyrys62]

You forgot the aerocar.
I'll go with SF50 for the reality sake.
Or B25.....but that gas...damn.

 

[JustinD]

Realistically? An SR22T with FIKI As I would be able to use it to commute to work given it's more performance and wx capability and it's speed....although It would be a hard toss up between that or to just splurge and go with a TBM930

Need a referral to an optometrist? or perhaps just cleaning the glasses or monitor?

 

[Jeff Oslick]

How much do dilithium crystals cost?

About 3 Red Shirts from the crew ranks.

[jsstevens]

About 3 Red Shirts from the crew ranks.

Over my budget...
