I vote for the PC 12 NG. Simply an amazing airplane.

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

Exactly!esp803 wrote:Turbine Mallard
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?!
I kind of wish there were a tailwheel private jet....

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

Re: If you had the money...
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!l_reason wrote:Adam you can use my Luscombe if you feel the need to teach TW.

The radial in front of the ol' girl makes her just that much more of a bad ass!
Re: If you had the money...
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.
Re: If you had the money...
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

Re: If you had the money...
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.

Re: If you had the money...
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?
