All of them!!! But if truly given the choice I would probably give my chance to fly anything to my son, whose favorite plane is the P-38. I know I will never have the chance and the chances will get even less for our children. I think seeing my sons dream being fulfilled would be the most rewarding thing I could ever get in life.
warthog and F16, load the ammo!!!!!!!!!!!!
My "Top 2" didn't make the list-
F-15 with a max performance takeoff-
Anywhere in a SR-71.....
For me it would be a Corsair, although I would also cherish some time in a TBM Avenger as I have a good friend who flew them in WWII.
I forgot about the SR-71, and of course some of the really early stuff from the twentys and thirties... So many planes and so little time:(.
My father was a Navy pilot through the 50's and into the 60's, so I would most like a chance to fly what he flew most... the P2V Neptune. otherwise, I would love to fly a Tigercat, or the P-63 KingCobra.
How ironic that the only one to get this right (:D) was 'mustangbuilder'. Why of course...it's the Corsair!!!
Interesting note: Vought actually built a single, two seat, dual control, trainer version of the F4U. It had a canopy very similar to the North American At-6. (Tony Pileggi has a picture of it at his Corsair82 web site; http://www.corsair82.com/corsair/seats/seats.html)
They offered in response to all the transition crashes that were taking place at the time. However the Navy showned no interest in it and it was destroyed.
F-20 Tigershark (have time in an "under-powered" T-38) and an A-10. It's all about what we grew up with ;ob.....
