Hypothetical wish list.
My wish list is:P51D,SPIT MK9,Chipmunk,Boeing Stearman.I would make the Panton brothers an offer for their Lancaster "Just Jane" and then try to make it airworthy,officially.The P51D will be painted silver with a blue nose and D-Day invasion stripes. S..t hot.Anybody want to add to the dream?

I flew in a Lancair PropJet for the first time the other day, and since that experience there's nothing else I'd rather buy.
Climbs at 4000fpm, cruises at 250KIAS, rides like a rocket. Even at a standstill it looks like it's itching to get off the ground. Beautiful aircraft.

That's an Experimental category plane though, isn't it? You have them flying in Australia??
It would be pretty amazing if one could bring one to the UK under a Permit.

I did wonder about the word 'Experimental' that was written on the inside of the door, but never got round to asking the owner why it said this. I’m pretty new to flying, but yes, they are flying in Australia... at least I know of one that is! I didn’t take these (they're courtesy of airliners.net) but this is the very aircraft Mr. Fitzgerald was kind enough to give us a ride in to Perth. 155 kilometres in 15 minutes. Brilliant!
