It seems like an odd choice, but I have my reasons. Firstly, I've never seen one fly,


wasn't there one flying in the movie "Always"? ....

That is to say, I've never seen one flying "in person"

not sure about always, all I remember is an A-26.

Spitfire, withoud doubt. Think when I have this chance to own one, I'll will easely find a group of volunteers to raise funds to keep her flying.

Well, if I was living on Fantasy Island I think it would have to be the sexiest thing with wings, a deHavilland F.3 Hornet or maybe a Tigercat.
But since they are both made from unobtainium that's out the window.
So instead I'd have to have a J2F-6 Duck.
(But heck, I can't even afford to put oil in one.)

Dream aquisition...B-36 from the NMUSAF...couple millions and off we would go into the wild blue yonder :roll: Or, the Hustler they have!

Reality...Spitfire. I know someone already said it, but the earlier the mark the better! Single-seater...sorry Bill, I want mine all to myself :twisted:

Of course this is all dreaming & subjective to boot...but I'd like nothing more than an F4U-4 or 5. I saw dash 5's fly over my house as a kid when they were on downwind @ Moffat Field in Mountain View, CA.

I always said that if i won the lottery, the 1st would be........

I think if I were given one, I could start a 501C and start to maintain it and keep her going by donations.


I would want a "mike" model UH-1.
