Interested to see which planes would be on everyone's short list, it can be anything from pistons to jets. Mine would be Phenom 300 with Garmin G3000, CJ3+ would be in serious consideration but Phenom is faster. This is all hypothetical of course, just me doing some daydreaming at the office.

I'd get 3 planes... Cessna 310 Cub on floats Lancair Evolution Then set up a foundation to do some good things with the other 8.8 million.

I'd combine Jason and Arlen's lists: - PC24 for going places
- Cessna 340 with a glass panel for short distances
- Citabria or equivalent for fun
- Cub on floats or maybe a Searay for water time fun
- Big honkin' hangar to hold it all
If the PC24 comes in at 8900 AMU that should just round out to $10MM.
