If you had the money to open up your own aicraft reproduction shop and build anything you wanted...what aircraft would you reproduce to flying condition?


Well, for me if I had the money I would probably produce three or four of each plane. But I would have a high standard as they would have to be almost 100% to the original blue prints. So for my list these are the aircraft I would build:

P-322 Lightning
P-43 Lancer
P-40B
P-40C
P-36A/C/G
P-35A
F2A-3 Buffalo
A6M2-N Rufe

B-36.

Showing up at Oshkosh with your homebuilt Peacemaker would be the ultimate achievement.

A b-36 would be great, but there is nowhere to land it!
How about a dornier 335?

McDonnell (or is it Boeing now?) XF-85 Goblin. Of course I'd need the EB-29 to take it to airshows.

BDK, you better buils a bunch of extra windscreens and canopies. :lol:

My pick, something a little more realistic, N9M, F4B-4, P-26, P-66. These are being done or could actually be done.

Mudge, I'll out pimp you all with the YB-49 ! Just take a look at the original War of the Worlds and tell me the Flying Wing would't rule the roost !

Rick the Wingman :lol:

I will out pimp all of you with my Zeppelin ZR-3 Los Angeles. Plus I'd have a mobile pad to entertain the ladies (as long as we are dreaming)
