Build a hanger for "Hot Stuff" , see what it would take to get the B-29 "Doc" back on track, give the P-61 at MAAM a boost. With all my generosity I would have to have my name somewhere on that aircraft. I'm sure I will think of more uses , such as promoting one of the greatest warbird airshows ever!!! Of course there is "Desert Rat"," Champaign Lady", "Special Kay" etc that need help($$$). I did buy tickets for the mega millions, "Missed it by that much", Oh well .

i would definitely spend some major dough helping maam finish the p61 as long as i got to fly in it lol, really love the idea of having a converted albatross as a flying Winnebago!as for a personnel plane i think a bear cat or tiger cat would be in order

Oh and buy every remaining N3N project, get them all in the air and then pay for every N3N to fly to the Stearman Gathering.


Build a fully armed Model 76 and get to Galesburg early. :drink3:

I'm going to put some money in a fund to start an all-Navy warbird show at the former NAS Grosse Ile every summer :supz:

I'm also going to buy the Moraine Saulnier MS 733 Alcyon this Air Zoo has laying around and have that restored as my own unique warbird to travel around in. I've also dreamed of having a Noorduyn Norseman in stock military configuration, so I'd try to add one of those to my fleet. Maybe add an N3N, Tiger Moth or a Waco to have a biplane to tool around in and call my fleet good.

The rest will go to things entirely unrelated to aviation.

First off, if any of you win the lottery I expect you to spring for a $10/month subscription ;)

If I win the lottery.....

Stuka... specifically Ju 87G Stuka with the 37mm gun pods. And while I'm at it make a Ju 87D. Now wouldn't that be a hit at airshows?!

If I would have won, I would have paid off Bob Ponds widow & got all those aircraft shaped pieces of metal in PalmSprings back in the air..
