A neat niche to try, the high-end recreational tool rather than traditional plane (from this wannabe but landbound person's POV). Very cool website, aspirational videos, etc. "Get around in this rather than that RV". Now if it was just the size/pax/cargo of a Goose but the same cost and maintenance

I was a jet mech, Eagle Keeper; the F-15 was my primary jet. I always thought the Eagles were one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built, but I am very bias. I had the chance to work on F-5's some also. Not the biggest threat, but I always thought they were a beautiful airplane, just didn't like crawling the intake. The A-10 beautiful? I guess pretty is as pretty does...

Quote HistoryThe Constellation—Connie for short—was flown by airlines around the world, as well as the U.S. military over three decades. Eventually, it would be remembered as an enduring symbol, the epitome of grace in propeller-driven aircraft. When the much-beloved Constellation was unveiled, it boasted unheard-of refinements, such as air conditioning, reclining seats, and extra lavatories. It was a plane ahead of its time, at least twice as fuel efficient as the industry’s first jets and as efficient as many of today’s modern aircraft. I have a wonderful memory of my first aircraft flight as a young child. I distinctly remember walking across the tarmac and climbing the steps into one of these big beautiful ships, flown by TWA. |

Always thought the Convair Tradewind Bow Loader was a neat concept but hard to imagine how it would be useful.
ETA: Except as a medivac. I read it could carry almost 100 stretcher cases.

Couple documentaries mention it briefly somewhere. Not sure how much study and money they threw at it. |
