You have won 100 million :)

[thing]

Do the usual, set the kids up, laugh at the begging letters, have the wife lightly killed (no divorce settlement) then buy a Lear Jet with a crew to fly it as I'd be in the back with the blondes quaffing Bolly.

Another Husky, this time on floats
WACO Biplane
Hurricane

Get a Sunderland back in the air

I'd need another win by then.

[AdamFrisch]

Easy.

A P180 Avanti for my business travels.
An Extra 500 for my short haul, short field travels.
A Dornier Seastar for my exploring needs.
A Sikorsky S-76D as my heli.

100 mil gone.

I'd have to pay off my student loan first...

To be honest, £100m is nearly enough to afford a place on an integrated ATPL course.

Might get an Me109, just to be different.

The third seat on a Soyuz to the ISS and then a quarter share in a Spaceship 2



And then the rest of the change on 30 minutes on the 1973 C150 I fly at the moment....

The beauty of that type of money is frankly, you no longer worry about anything

Except that with the fragility of the banks at the moment you could easily lose it all. That would be a bit of a worry. Or you could spend many months opening over a thousand bank accounts to keep the balance of each one under the UK Govt's guarantee of £85k.

Although I guess with that kind of money you could employ someone to do it for you.

At 85K guaranteed you would have to to have around 1100 banks accounts to cover that sum.
Presuming the fact that why bother to invest the money as you wouldnt need more! You could just have debit cards dont think my wallet would hold 1100 debit cards on a night out never mind remembering 1100 pins for the cards

I will buy an airfield and open a flying school for young passionate kids unable to afford to pay for lessons else where

Is there any chance that, when you do, you could be quite flexible with your definition of young and kid.

Cheers.

I will buy an airfield and open a flying school for young passionate kids unable to afford to pay for lessons else where

I'd second that, and open it to "underprivileged" kids... The sort that have a passion for flying, a reasonable aptitude etc. No regard would be given whatsoever to what their parents do for work, their background (within reason) academic results, state/public school or any other nonsense. The kids would be trained to PPL level, and then given further training and experience on proper stick and rudder types, with a view to operating such aircraft in a competent manner and spreading the GA gospel. So we'd have a few Supercubs for that purpose, and maybe a Jungmann, Great Lakes or Pitts thrown in for advanced stuff.

To answer the opening question though...

I'd buy;
i, A (the - is there still only one?!) LoPresti Fury. {Google it, it's badass)
ii, A P-51D
iii, Spit Mk9
iv, Focke-Wulf Fw 190
v, A U2 would be nice, but that's pushing it.
vi A BAC Lightning T5
vii, Some variant of Harrier, probably an AV8B.

Except that with the fragility of the banks at the moment you could easily lose it all

In which case it would be a very sober and prudent move to convert the money into aircraft

[IO540]

If you think banks (apart from the few German and French ones which lent billions to Greece so it could in turn spend the dosh on buying up overpriced German and French military hardware) are going to go bust, you may be well advised to buy up some of the ex-1945 gold still sitting in some Swiss banks

Not suggesting that 100M would get you very far into that project

[sablatnic]

Hard question. Maybe a Porterfield or an Auster, nothing fancy, I'm living in a small country.
Oh yes, and keep the farm for as long as the money lasts.
