I Deserve Reproduction

[cott]

All great suggestions.

I personally would like a P-6E, and a P-12E. To go with my Mustang, of course...
It would also be cool to see an Avro Arrow, but that's about as likely as a B-32.

Heres the one nobody can top, We need a North American XB-70. I would have loved to see and hear this monster fly.OK guys,top that one!

[Baldeagle]

Went to the Udvar-Hazy Center today and thought that if I ever won the lottery I should show up at Oshkosh a few years later with a replica Arado Ar 234-



Then comes the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 project...

I would like to see an airworthy B 36 fly again.

The P-43...if I ever better myself and not worry about money this would be on the list of things to try and do. But why one? I think at lest x3 would do justice.


Also:

P-40B/C
P-66
P-64
P-36
P-35
B-17C/D and I think even E.


Again any cold war bird too but the B-36 would be tops on that.

Well, I wouldn't want to see a non-airworthy B-36 fly...

My choice is an easy one. The deHavilland 103 Hornet. Possibly the prettiest piston twin ever built...and, excepting a few parts in museums or private collections, an unjustly extinct aircraft.

More doable would be some overlooked early-war or immediately-prewar types, such as the Buffalo (using the NMNA/Finnish recovered airframe as a basis, like the Willow Grove Me262 of yore) or the sweet-flying Mitsubishi A5M or Nakajima Ki27.

And as a Canuck, I'd love to see the RCAF's first fighter, the Armstrong Whitworth Siskin IIIA, replicated and flown. That could be done on a "lookalike" basis using an AgCat fuselage frame and engine as a basis...

Just thought of another I can't believe I didn't already think of. Hawker Typhoon. Hardest part there, really, would be in replicating the Napier Sabre H24 (double-boxer-12) engine...

...And another, to see whether it would really have worked. Vought F5U "Flying Flapjack".

Somebody's already noted the Horten series. Yep, a Horten/Gotha 229'd be sweet. Talk about ahead of its time: the thing's essentially a quarter-scale B-2 Spirit...flown in 1945!

Ha ha, gotta admit, it would be exciting! Actually, when I saw that post my first thought was "Man, I want to HEAR a B-36 fly!!!"

Yeah, a B-36, you bet. But the YB-17/Model 299 would sure fit into more airports.

Now for a question: Which would require more runway, a B-36 or XB-70? I started to qualify it as a 10-engine B-36, but then went back and edited the qualifier out....

Steve: I think that there was a Ki-27 replica being built, but was lost to a hangar fire.
