So many fine choices, but if I had to pick just one, it would be this sexy little hot rod: a Northrop F-5

Boeing 737 (any). Followed by the T7.

Scenario 1

Aircraft that I would love to fly (or potentially own) with my current level of flight training.

 

RV-7

Cessna Skymaster

Diamond DA-42-VI

Beech 18 (would need a tailwheel endorsement) :wub:

 

 

Scenario 2

Aircraft that I would just love to just sit in, let alone get a hours of stick time.  Guess it could be my 'pretend to be Kermit Meeks' fantasy LOL  Just watch his 'kermie cam' videos on youtube, the guy has the ultimate life. B)

 

Any warbird ie Corsair, Spitfire, Mustang, Warhawk, Thunderbolt, Hellcat, FW-190, Lancaster, Mosquito, B-17...etc.  Those old engines are music to my ears.

 

Would also really love to fly a Grumman Goose too. ^_^

I'll see your F-5, and raise you one F-20...

I'd also pick the Rutan Boomerang, and the Spirit of St. Louis, just to see if I could get her off the ground!

Let's see there are some tough choices, but...

 

Military: F-16  Always like the smaller, sleek stature of it and after having sat in a few, I love the ergonomics, fit and feel of the cockpit as well as the visibility.

 

Airliner: 737-800NG  Even though I like the T7, 747, MD-11 and classic look of the older Tri-Jets, if I was able to fly any airliner on a daily basis it would have to be the 738. Love the fact that you can get it into smaller runways that a T7 or 747 can land at.

 

Experimental Military:  Tough to say, but probably the X-15 or recreate Yeagers X-1 flights.

 

Helicopter: Not much interest in these, but I would just go with the Jet Ranger.

 

Space Vehicle:  Shuttle or Apollo rocket.

Limiting to RW rich man with PPL:

 

Myself and the little woman: Piper Meridian (even as a rich man, I'd shy away from the TBM 850 and it's 2 mil higher price tag).

 

With some friends and family on vacation: 1a) Pilatus PC12-NG

                                                                  1b) KingAir 350i

                              2) Beech 18 tail dragger (Modern ground up resto with Garmin G600. As a harley family, this would be sweet. The Beech 18 is a Harley with wings after all)

 

Just me:

 

1) Piper Meridian.

2.) Beech Baron G58

 

The bottom line I guess would be the Piper Meridian if limited to one plane... But if I find 4 mil somewhere, defiantly both Piper Meridian and the Beech 18.
