If Santa were generous

If Santa had brought you the perfect aircraft, the very one that
you've always wanted, what aircraft would that be?

My perfect aircraft would take off from a paved runway, and carry me and a
buddy or two, a weeks camping gear, and our canoes or kayaks to a remote
mountain lake. While I'm wishing, I'd also like a 150 knot cruise speed.
And a pony.

But I'd settle for last year's EAA sweepstakes aircraft, a Husky on amphib
floats.

Violence, rude language, excessive drinking, paganism. It's hard to
find children's books like that these days.

What kind of aircraft would YOU ask Santa for?

If Santa were so generous to make such a gift AND would underwrite the
ongoing expenses of maintenance and operations which exceed those of our
Skyhawk, I'll take a Huey (UH-1H) please. Otherwise, a new 180hp engine
with CS prop for the hawk will do nicely, thanks.

Happy New Year!

I suppose I'd ask for something that I've flown in simulation, which
means either a Beechcraft Baron 58 (the one that came just before the
glass cockpit deathtrap), or a Boeing Business Jet 2 (that is, a
737-800, essentially). The BBJ2 requires a copilot, though, and has
other inconveniences, so I suppose I'd want both, so I could choose
the right aircraft for the right trip.

Interesting. Why the Huey?

Sorry, in this case Santa can bring only complete aircraft, not parts
or enhancements.

Too many to list, but I wouldn't say no to a Titan T-51.

Leonard,

With outboard speakers and the Wagner CD, I assume ;-)
