Thread: Your Fly-Before-You-Die Dream Plane

    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.

    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 () 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.....

    You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

    For me, to fly absolutely anything, it has got to be of the WW2 era, one of the following: Spitfire, P-38, Fw190 'Dora', Ju88 or the Do 335. Have always found the German stuff intriguing. See photo below of the 335, the fastest piston engine aircraft ever built.Name:  dornier-do-335-pfeil-fighter-03.jpg
