Yamer Posted November 20, 2013 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

redpatcher Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 My dad's plane.. The F4U Corsair, whistling death. God what a beautiful plane... 2 Quote
akscott60 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 MI24. I am going to try to convince the museum at Lancaster airport in Dallas to let me fly theirs. Quote
Yamer Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Fully restored to mil spec of the era p51 Quote
Yamer Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Space shuttle is a good one though lol Quote
I3uller Posted November 20, 2013 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
pilot#476398 Posted November 20, 2013 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
ShaneWey Posted November 20, 2013 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
rotornut67 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 P-38 Lightning AKA...Forked Tail Devil! Quote

ShaneWey Posted November 21, 2013 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
Mofallon86 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 B1-B. I worked on them for four years and really want to fly one. Quote

redpatcher Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 My second on the list is a Fokker DR-1 triplane. I want to make a kit plane of one someday. 1 Quote
copter doctor Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 MD 540 when it comes out. I am a mechanic and haven't flown anything bigger than an R-44. Dream flight would be in Alaska with it. Quote
PhrogGuy Posted November 21, 2013 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
