I think a super connie partie plane and a PC-24 I was driving thru Salina a few days ago and noted that Connie was still there on the ramp. I've got the POH for both the DC-6 and DC-7. Reliable sources say the --6 was less troublesome. I always thought a CV440 would make a decent party plane to haul your friends to the next resort golf course.

My list would have to include an Avanti or CJ4 for traveling, a Spitfire MK V, Stearman, an Aircam on floats, an Albatross (I think Jimmy’s is at Universal Orlando), and a MD500D.

That's actually a pretty cool view. For several months in the '90's, while deployed to Genoa in support of Bosnia operations, my room looked down on the Piaggio factory. It was literally right below my room and I watched them roll out new Avantis as well as the firefighting turbine twin.

A friend of mine used to describe the two this way.
DC-6 - 4 engine airplane with 3 bladed props.
DC-7 - 3 engine (running) airplane with 4 bladed props.

I forgot one. Call the guys in NZ and have them build me a Mosquito Mark VI. What sounds better than a Merlin? TWO Merlins.

Used a guy's strip a while back who had this sort of problem. Was intrigued to see he'd gone for:
L-39 Albatross
T-6 Texan (Harvard we call them here)
Tiger Moth
RV
Bonanza
All off a 3,000' one-way dirt strip. Said the first landing bringing the Albatross in sure got him focusing.

Username Protected wrote: I just saw an article that started by saying that Americans spend more money on lottery tickets every year than cigarettes or smart phones.  At least for me, I've never smoked. And it looks like the average for the US is 20%. And realize that some people get a new cell phone every time a new model comes out, but I'm guessing most don't replace them until they need to. So they may go a few years without spending any money on a smart phone. So those are peculiar metrics.
