Yamer Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Alright, time to relieve some stress from you guys waiting and people like me who are waiting on others also but in a different way. List the number one aircraft on your bucket list that you want to fly before you die. Pilot in command you control everything... Doesn't matter the flight plan just the aircraft. Any aircraft, fixed or rotor wing, current or not but name it I'll post mine after a few of you name yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I3uller Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Easy. The Space Shuttle.From what I've gathered on that thing, there isn't much flying to it and the little amount of flying that you do is very computer controlled. The mission on the other hand, I'm all about. I'd really want to get into a P-51D (cliche or not it's an amazing machine) and fly low level over a coastline or through an air race course. The Hind comes in a close second though AK, seems like it would be an experience to fly one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilot#476398 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Since the Space Shuttle has been retired and they haven't invented flying cars yet, I'd say, the Bell 222, or a Cobra,...but they'd have to let me shoot the guns too! I'd also settle for the Harrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneWey Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Maybe the B-2. Only because I've thought it was cool looking since I was about 5yrs old lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneWey Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Wow those things are cool! That's a steep AOA on the takeoff too! It's like a fixed wing version of a gyrocopter. Must be a thrill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhrogGuy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I can already hear the boos coming, CH-46E. Crewed on them for years but no stick time. I would love to fly that old girl 150 feet off the deck at a blazing fast 120 kts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
