Okay FellowWixers- not sure how this one hasnt shown up yet today-
When you win the mega Millions tonight with the lucky ticket you picked up today what warbird are or other approparie toy are you going topick up.

For me I think it is time to see a return of the complet set of Grumman Cats that used to live at LSFM. -and of course an A26 as a daily driver would be nice too.

Buy the old McCann P-51D that's on it's way to South Africa and have Mid West Aero restore it in the colors it wore in WWII when flying with my Uncle's fighter group, the 325th Checkertail Clan!

Oh yeah, and pay some bills!

Build a Vietnam War museum to help say thanks to help pay back how this country treated them when they retuned home.

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.

I guess I'm more pragmatic.

Pay Bills.

Invest.

Buy a Plane (which one? I have no clue, I'll have to figure out what I really want)

Start an Airline

Use investments and airline to endow warbird operations. Now taking applications. ;)

With that much?
I'd bring back the Schneider Trophy races, with a purse big enough to make it worthwhile.

I was really thinking in terms of airplane purchases, but with a board full of pilot types I guess I should be thankfull this discussion did not spiral any further down into the gutter

Anyway- I thought about buying the winning ticket but realized how much it would change me so I passed and let someone else have it this time- who needs the hassle of that much money anyway-
