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. :shrug:

There I have corrected your post Arlen. I know you meant that.

Joked with my wife that if we won the Powerball we could buy a new Gulfstream, but have them fit out the interior like the GII my dad used to fly in the early 70's - in all its Red Velvet and Black Vinyl glory!

I'd combine Jason and Arlen's lists:

  1. PC24 for going places
  2. Cessna 340 with a glass panel for short distances
  3. Citabria or equivalent for fun
  4. Cub on floats or maybe a Searay for water time fun
  5. Big honkin' hangar to hold it all

If the PC24 comes in at 8900 AMU that should just round out to $10MM.

Whatever would get me and my 3 kids to Gdansk, Poland from Indy with least fuel stops possible so I can visit my folks and my kids can see their grandparents.

For everything else, I have my A36.

I would say the PC-24, though the Phenom 300... CJ3 and CJ4 are all great airplanes and you'd have some gas money left over!
