Your dream plane to fly?

[PilotDAR]

So money is no object, you can fly anything you want for the day, what would it be?

For me:

[rigpiggy]

This under every bridge in the lower mainland at 0730

[f.o.ever]

Easy...... Russian Bear Bomber TU-85

[Liquid Charlie]

[Beefitarian]

I love this one!

Right now it would be an F-86. Though it changes in the blink of an eye.

[Colonel Sanders]

No doubt in my mind: X-15



Mach 6.7 and a maximum altitude of 354,200 ft.

After engine light, the pilot was under 2g chest-to-back acceleration which increased to about 4g at burnout. The pilots felt that four gs was about enough. Milt Thompson once stated that "the X-15 was the only aircraft I ever flew where I was glad when the engine quit. "

In the words of Robert White, "My flights to 217,000 feet and 314,750 feet were very dramatic in revealing the earth's curvature ... at my highest altitude I could turn my head through a 180º arc and wow! - the earth is really round. At my peak altitude I was roughly over the Arizona/California border in the area of Las Vegas, and this was how I described it: looking to my left I felt I could spit into the Gulf of California. Looking to my right I felt I could toss a dime into San Francisco Bay." If the coast is clear that far north, you can just about make out Puget Sound, nearly a thousand miles away

A very elite group:

I would tour around with it all year between Smith Falls, Nanaimo, and Kenora.

I would do this exact 1 minute routine over and over and over all while taking bets to see if I would hear about it on AvCanada.

Hey Barney, surely somewhere in your 89 types (I'm jealous of the Hummingbird, BTW) you must have knocked a dream plane of yours off the list. What was it like? I hear meeting your hero is often disappointing, is flying your dream plane any different?

Lowandslow: They each have their own personalities ..just like a woman..caress them, make love, and treat them right and you'll be rewarded. treat them rough and.....

I really hated the DA-20 Plastic Lawn Dart
