Hey your on to something... stand on the corner at the local community airport with a cardboard sign; Will fly ANY plane... for food!

Forgot to add this beast to the list. This is a bucket list airplane... And I doubt that anyone here would turn down a chance to ride or fly this beast.  You can thank Miltion Shupe for spoiling us with it back in the day.  The mighty Howard 500.

As long as someone else is picking up the bill for its restoration to flying condition - a Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

 

More realistically, choosing aircraft that are available on the market - a De Havilland Chipmunk, because I've flown one before. Or maybe a DH Beaver to go touring in.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

737-200 or 747 classic. Just love those older steam gauge cockpits.

MD-11 is my dream aircraft to pilot. I would like nothing more than to push 3 levers forward. Also the 747.

Bronco. Spectacular view when flying low and not too slow.

If this question were asked about your 'dream road vehicle', I wonder how many would respond with Grey Hound, Mack Truck or Wiinnebago rather than Ferrari, Lambo or Porsche? It surprises the heck out of me how so many flyers would rather pilot a bus than a sports car!?! :lol:

 

Fun topic none the less!

Some people like buses and trucks. OMSI 2 and ETS 2 are quite popular simulations.

I didn't know the Winnebago (anyway, those vehicles seem to be popular mainly in the States?), but I would prefer any of those over a sports car! It's just much more comfortable to get into those, and I also feel somewhat safer in large trucks :rolleyes: - if only my driver's licence would allow me to drive such vehicles!

Wow, dream road vehicle.  I drove 2-1/2 ton "trucks" in the Army.  The most fun in that was backing into a wooded area with a trailer.

 

I'd prefer the Ford GT... either the modern version or the 1964 one with a 7 liter engine (detuned for street, of course, unless I was driving it on a track).

 

As far as aircraft are concerned, there's a lot to be said for the ability to hand control over to a copilot, get up and stretch your legs, visit the "facilities" and get a coffee and danish on the way back.  But the aircraft should still be fun to fly.  This is one reason I like the Goose.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Boeing 737-800...or a Cessna Citation X.

Even stranger, is military pilots becoming civilian commercial pilots to do that very thing (aircraft wise).

 

As with all things... ones age is a major factor. We all go from Ferrari to "something that works almost all the time, and is not expensive to operate".

 

 

Mack Truck is already checked in my bucket list at any rate.
