ok below or down below us theres a post that says post your ride, thats cool but it only counts if you have a pilots licence which some of us dont have so....imaginate and dream your wildest dream...

whats an aircraft you wish you could call your "ride"....(ps flightsim screens are ok if needed be..)

my dream aircraft is the 737-200

Would that be with or without engines?  Might be an interesting glider but you'd have to have one heck of a big airplane to be your tow!  Hehe.

Well, someone already glided a 767, and a fellow USAFA grad glided an A320 to a wet landing on some river, so I guess you could do it... but you'd need one heck of a tow, AN-225 or AN-124?

As for my dream ride, when I become a millionaire, I'll buy one of these and retire... maybe start an aerobatic routine here?...

Avro Shackleton, this is a MR3 version. Photo I took at Newark Air Museum this year.  Bet you all thought I would post some thing like a Spitfire or a Lancaster  ;D

Had a bit of a reputation for vibration and noise but I like it.

Ok ok, I have a new one!

One of my best buddies and true friends who I went to war with, with the Brits, many moons ago is a corporate pilot and showed me his ride today. He now is a corporate pilot and ended up in LA the same time I did. What a great day! And now I want one of these !!!  :)

btw, this is me "venturing to the dark side" attempting to taxi out to the runway at KSMO . . . .
