Your fantasy hanger - 3 slots, no budget...

    What aircraft would you put in your 'fantasy' hanger, and why? Just to keep it simple we'll limit it to 3 aircraft, but there's no budget, can be from any era, civil or military.

    To kick off, I'd take the following:
    SR-71: magnificent, so fast and ahead of its time.
    P-51: always loved the WWII birds, and prefer this over the Spitfire.
    Concorde: when I don't feel like flying the Blackbird, I can still be flown wherever quickly!

    I'll probably change my mind in 10 mins, so much choice. What would you pick?

    I keep all my aircraft in a hangar.

    I don't trust hangers. :rolleyes:

    A gulfstream IV for globetrotting.
    A nice little S-434 for nipping out to the shops and going to the Curragh, Ballybrit & Punchestown
    A fully armed F-16 Falcon for attacking my neighbours.

    Sorry cannot resist.:P.................... So Lapin you keep your woodwork tools in hangars?:D I keep my plane in the tool shed.

    On the other hand if I had a 'plane or even three there would be a Spitfire, an F16 and something else I can't decide on right now. Some kind of runabout from a Piper Cub to a Cessna Citation.

    Always always always wanted a P51

    other than that , some sort of biz , maybe a Gulfstream.

    Then one I have always wanted a TB20 , I have just always liked the lines of it.


    Didn't go for anything too exotic , after all SR71 , needs special fuel etc

    ( I know this is fantasy world but still ............)

    Not to say I don't like SR71 or Concorde , but just couldn't get my head around the practicalities ( boring I know )

    Oh boy....

    AW109. Loved this aircraft from the word go. (Had my first solo circuit with one close by. Happy days!)

    I'd want some lovely looking fenestron so I'd look at a Dauphin

    Now comes the toss up, do I want another turbine? Piston?
    It's narrowed down to a R44ClipperII or a H500

    DECISIONS!!!

    R44ClipperII
    I'd have to sell the Dauphin, pay for my commercial and instructor then (in the fantasy world with no competition or recession of course) instruct in the Clipper, bit of commercial work. Happily owning a beautiful 109 :cool:

    Bringing the new concept aircraft from Sikorsky and Eurocopter (X2, and X3) into the equation complicates matters: so I'm going to pretend that they don't exist :D
