even if I had the money: if it Flys, Floats or F@%ks, then it's cheaper to rent by the hour. :wink:

Exactly!

Turbine Mallard for the cottage/hunting/fishing trips.
ASG-29 with a sustainer for the nice days.
Sukhoi Su-31 for when the frown needs to be turned upside down.
Citation CJ4 for the long hauls.
PC-6 for the $100(+) hamburger
Custom Cassutt F1 Racer for race days.
Beech 18 for giving multi training
Luscombe for giving tail wheel checkouts.

I think that would tick most boxes....or were the rules just one?! :lol:

I kind of wish there were a tailwheel private jet....

A Spartan Executive, a Staggerwing Beech, then I'd make him an offer he couldn't refuse and buy GYP from the current owner.

Turbine Mallard, and a PZL M-18 because you just can't beat burning 75 gal/hr of 100LL for no reason at all.

Adam you can use my Luscombe if you feel the need to teach TW.

And a Luscombe Phantom because they are really bad ass.

Well, if it's a big win then maybe the new PC-24. Everything a PC-12 (if the advertising is to believed) is and more.

Tread carefully, as I may take you up on the offer one of these days! :wink:

The radial in front of the ol' girl makes her just that much more of a bad ass!

A Twotter I guess so I could get to remote lakes and still have good range to go other places. I'd need two female pilots to fly her though.

1. Tutor, cross country jet and still do some aerobatics and don't think you can get private hornet's yet
2. Canso, decked out like an winnibego but with downriggers out those bubbles for salmon fishing... yes it would have an auxiliary trolling motor.
3. Maule on Floats/skis

I remember watching a video about a billionare who moved to South Africa because they let him fly his british jet at mach 2.

I think I would like an F-86 or mig-15.

Nice list of hardware you guys have come up with,
but like a dog chasing a car that stops, what would
you do about maintenance? Who would you call
the first time it broke?!

You would need your own (huge) hangar somewhere
to store this stuff indoors. You probably couldn't build
the hangar at a nearby airport, so like many people you
would need to first buy a huge piece of land and construct
your own runway.

At your own base, you would need your own full-time
staff of AME's and likely need to push the paper for your
own AMO and oh yeah, a parts store with a POC for your
turbine stuff. Green tags everywhere.

Likely you wouldn't be qualified, so you'd also have to
hire a pilot, experienced on each type, until you were.

You'd probably need a little twin just to run parts
and people about the place, when stuff broke down,
as it always does.

This fancy, rare hardware needs infrastructure, guys.
A lot of people, paper and parts. At least, this is what
I see, when I see a neat, rare airplane. It doesn't exist
in isolation.

I would still fly my c172. Maybe would paint it in some red/blue funky scheme and add the diesel engine with fadec.

I would rather buy a piece of land with the 4000 ft runway so I can rent all the hardware to fly from all the other lottery winners.

BTW how much land do I need for my 4000 ft runway?
