I'm a big fan of the P-51 but I really like the Pitts Special too.

BF109 G or K

P-51 would be nice, but the Lancair was pretty sweet. Sometimes I miss being a ramp rat.

Focke-Wulf 190. I have some sort of autistic obsession with that aircraft.

Luckily I already accomplished one off that list.

Got an incentive ride in an F-4C for winning "Airman of the Month" when I was at Luke AFB in 1980. It was awesome!

I chose the B1-B.

B-1 would be pretty fucking sick. A-10 goes without saying, and I've always been partial to the F-15. I've wondered, given the extended lifespan of the F-15 and the continuing programs to upgrade it, why we don't revisit the F-15 ACTIVE and S/MTD programs. Thrust vectoring and supermaneuverability? I mean, why not?

A-10. Brrrrrrrt.

An updated P38 with twin F119-PW-100's.

I chose B-1B for buzzing commie demonstrators who block roads. Full AB. At 7' AGL*

A Fokker - any model.
Just so I could say, yeah I flew that Fokker.

Fly? P-51, own? Pilatus PC-12

Posted: 11/23/2019 8:45:44 AM EDT

From the list, P51.

Off the top of my head:

T38

A10 because brrrt

F14

A4

F22

I'm not a pilot but the F18 sounds like it would be cool.

The one with a bathroom.

Even a c130 has a honey bucket.

A4 Skyhawk (probably from watching the Blue Angels when I was younger).

Soul Plane

A new version of the Beech Starship, with better engines and fewer airframe problems due to it being one of the first all composite aircraft. Truly ahead of it's time, I believe manufacturing methods are catching up.

That would be last on my list. I guess if this is a “you get to do whatever you want” deal, it would be Third.

It’s certainly the most ubiquitous bird though. It’s amazing how many of my coworkers free them. From all services, even the merchant marine, I think..

Spirit of St. Louis or SR-71

Opposite ends of the spectrum.

P51 or a Connie.

My grandmother worked on them and my grandfather saw them fly overhead when he earned the silver star.

I agree.

All Aboard the Flying Yacht!

It has a phone so you can business while you get crunk:

P51 From the ones mentioned. Corsair would be right up there also. I'm not a big aiation guy but I have a soft spot for WWII aircraft.

P-38.

P51 I feel would give the most entertaining ride. SR-71 I think would give the best view.

P-51, have an hour in a Pitts.
