Louis Moore Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I get sick of everyone saying how they want a new cirrus, or a millennium shark or some other polished plastic, fresh off the production line, new car smelling aircraft that costs more than a family home in the middle of sydney CBD. So if you're limited to imagination only and not cost, but it must be second hand and at least, lets say 20-30 years old minimum, whats your dream aircraft? For me, well there is not enough space in this thread to list them all! But I'm sucker for planes that I think "look" like they should. The Lincoln Sport, I think looks well....... So thats my RAA-aus aircraft For my favourite single engine GA the v-tail wins every time But my all time FAVOURITE, makes me droll, gutta have one, will always be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 A good Piper Twin Commanche would be my choice. A Lear Jet for the longer trips and a Grumman Ag Cat for muckin around..( If someone can post examples I would be grateful). Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Mouse Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 There is something very Icarus taking to flight about this little bathtub Aeronca, would be lots of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Call me nuts but I have a thing for midwing US Racers and their descendants... just something so exciting about these aircraft... SONERAI 1. This would work with 19 rego... CASSUT. I almost "dry humped" the leg of the pilot of this exciting machine at Temora... LOVE IT (ignore the Jabs in the background) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 The small tail area would indicate some exciting times likely. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave you the ag cat with the front seats so you can muck about with you're friends in tow. Also found a nice sleek looking comanche, because I figured a refined gent such as yourself needs an aircraft that looks as good as it flies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Moore Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Here is one for those not to faint of heart! The fu-25 Fletcher, it's not a lot of aircraft being pulled by a lot of 250HP. Thats gotta be a lotta fun I would think And for $155,000 it can be your's!!!! http://www.aircraftonline.com.au/product.php?id=1351 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks Louis, They all look great. djp, yeah I thought about that. Being practical YES, but if I have 3, the AGGI will do for muckin about, cause they go nearly as fast uphill as downhill when they're empty.

You can get an old Lear for not much more than that (like the one your picture), if power to weight is what you are after!! For Facthunter, even has a fresh 12 year inspection!

dazza 38 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 A WACO or a Boeing Stearman .A Piper PA-18 Super Cub would do me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Last year at the Beech factory there was a beautifully restored Staggerwing (serial no 2 I think), I could be convinced for one of those, especially that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 These are the most beautiful aircraft I will need just under 2 million to buy one, then the cost of a house for an engine OH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsor68 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Ok.... Now this one is my "If you could have ONE airplane only" scenario and you aren't a Squillionaire... Looking at the figures for a practical, economical family and fun machine, the one aeroplane that ticks IMO the most boxes and doesn't cost a fortune... The classic Tri-Pacer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave8rr Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My one true love! Prefer it wthout those new fangled wingtips though, round is good! I have about sixty hours in this old girl!

djpacro Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just came across this website http://www.grubby-fingers-aircraft-illustration.com/piston-prop_walkarounds.html Some of the aircraft here belong to friends. Nev will like the 7ECA pics and Win might like the Tri-Pacer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I get sick of everyone saying how they want a new cirrus, or a millennium shark or some other polished plastic, fresh off the production line, new car smelling aircraft that costs more than a family home in the middle of sydney CBD. If Lynx come up with an aftershave that smells like old aeroplane, I'd buy it. I dunno what makes the smell, but all old aircraft have it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
