Buy a big block at Gatton or maybe Whitsunday airpark, build a BIG shed to keep my toys in.
A PC12 for the family trips. A RV14 for me to build and then play with. A SeaFury for bragging rights. A 1982 Katana SX (proddie racer). A 1973 Z900. A 1984 GPz900R. A GPz750 Turbo. The best toolkit in the world. A bloody big flat screen TV for the shed wall, a beer fridge and a comfy lounge for me & the mates. A house for the boss and the small people.
A mil to Fred Hollows foundation. Another mil to the Salvos.

50 mil would probably be enough for a batmobile as well, to do the job properly...

Sitting here in my airconditioned ($15 target fan) at the university of wisconsin at Oshkosh i can think of some pretty
mouthwatering ideas including :
The hondajet-yes i know it has engines above the wings but boy does it look good.
But not As good as new lancair. I don't know what it is or does but its the ultimate definition of sex on wings.
A quest kodiak? - makes the good old airvan look like a tinkertoy.
Then again the Diamond Djet looks the part.
Or a mustang, a corsair, an f86 sabre maybe?
Amd i never knew the world held so many Vans RVs until i got to oshkosh
The ikon floatplane?-nice idea but not here.
Anyway if its not at oshkosh its not in the market-and all of the 500 plua aussies here are having a ball-but can somebody please pick up the tab at Kelly's?

Lets see,
By an airport, then buy a big 4x4 ute with flashing lights, get myself a big badge and a really bad attitude. Everytime some-body pulled up in there GA plane race out and harass them and generally make them feel like a terrorist. Everytime the met man mentions rain within a 500 nm radius of the field, immediately close the grass runways for a minimum of 6 months.
Find the CFI of the flying school and harass him about minor issues until he gets that zombie look on his face, then make hasty exit across the closed grass runway's in my big 4x4 ute. Spend all day finding some obscure rule to enforce that has no safety aspect for aviation. Harass some poor student pilot doing a pre-flight on his C152 for not wearing airport operator approved safety vest and issue him with an on the spot fine of $200.00.
Or start up a business class airline betwen Melbourne and Sydney using a couple of B727-200's. Lets see Penthouse pets for flight attendents, 70 business class seats/beds, as much grog as you can drink on the two hour flight, cigars, spa bath down the back, casino, pokies and Foxtel on the mega screens. Bookings, only through travel agents like EWL.

Nah, won't work Stationair8, you'll have a lineup of pissed off women screaming "DISCRIMINATION!!" because they weren't good looking enough to be hired, you'll have CASA screaming "FIRE HAZARD!!" Due to the Cigars, you'll have someone from the Government screaming "RESPONSIBLE SERVICE OF ALCOHOL!!" and finally some irate hippy screaming "CONSUMERISM GONE MAD!!!" or some such nonsense...of course all that screaming tends to be hard to hear over the sound of Jet Engines idling unusually high....

Checkboard and I have discussed this a couple of times.
We'd buy/set up a flying school at Port Macquarie. Full monty. PPL to CPL and IR. Have a couple of top instructors paid the award and then some.
To keep us amused, Checkers would have an aerobatic aircraft and I'd have a Hawker 800 with Collins avionics. I'd endorse the senior instructors on it too.
However, the piece de resistance would be a really cool hangar bar with good honest food too. (for those about to fly)

"OK, I need you guys to tell me how to stop the Minister for War and Finance from spending it before me" ... on her useless family members who you detest and have always thought she married beneath her station.

The problems you mention are easily solved, it simply needs a can do approach.
Spend 50 grand on cosmetic surgery for the ugliest/loudest and give her a job. Call it Employer Funded Training, and get a grant from the guvmint.
Buy the contract to transport CASA officials on the route, and supply free cigars to them. (you might want to also install a private dance room on board as well)
1 free flight to show them how responsible you are, free Gin and Tonics all round, probably a free cigar as well. Escort the officials to their motels, and ensure they are safely ensconsed. You are doing more than other providers, as you are ensuring the patron is safely in bed, not just kicking em out at closing time.
A new poncho from dimmy's should solve that.
As they say, if it works against you, then buy it.

Reddo, love ya work, but Proline is a tool of Satan and all proponents thereof should undergo exorcism by a ordained Garmin rep!!!
