plane to carry bikes?

What would you guys recommend to carry 4 or 5 GoldWings and their
riders? Doesn't need to be able to cross an ocean 8-). It needs to be
one that mere mortals can afford, so 747's and C5's are out.

Thanks,

Put wings on it and call it a glider?

Don't have an engine big enough! And if I did, all the effective
payload would be used up with fuel sigh.

Why not put some retractable wings on those puppies, and a drive wheel
that morphs into a pusher prop? A few concept sketches, some mythical
performance figures, and a website ought to start the investor money
pouring in.

You're looking for a Shorts Skyvan. It's not overkill (small twin
turboprop) and the back end is a ramp to make loading and unloading
your goldwings easier.

So what if it looks like a shoebox with wings on it.

The older unpressurized turboprops would work. The Casa 212 and the Shorts
SC-7 Skyvan both have ramps in the back for drive-on convenience. Both can
be had for well under
1 $MilUS.

Dean Wilson designed and built a twin engine amphib for two French
explorers. It used two Lycoming engines, and I think the tail end
swung open for loading. It was called the Explorer. It could hold an
Avid Flyer with the wings folded. He built a single engine version that
had room for a king size bed, I believe. Look for an article in Sport
Aviation.
It was built with tubing and fabric covered.
