A fair point Jan except that if you want the smallest aircraft you will need the smallest car, so the two demands are interlinked somewhat.

The AZE Mizar deserves a look-in:

I’ve heard RVs are good

The Miles Aerovan and the Short SD-330/C-23 Sherpa are actually linked...
Miles developed the Aerovan into the HDM-105 using Hurel-Dubois high aspect ratio wings. There were several projected developments of this one of which eventually became the Short Skyvan, which of course was developed into the SD-330. Sam, how about one of these? https://kekiongacomics.files.wordpre...il-and-bus.jpg I know, I know, small it aint... |
Friend of mine picked up his new Mini in a De Havilland Caribou.........he could probably sell you one in working order.

The Avid Explorer would be a contender.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Global_Explorer Not shown on the Wikipedia page but I remember the tail swung to the side to admit a boat to the cabin. It has the space and payload to hold one of today's small car substitutes. Not sure if the floor has enough structure. |

Sorry Sam, we couldn't afford a car AND our Paro, let alone car and Skyvan! |

The Global Explorer certainly did some flights with a Suzuki jeep in the back. I've seen a Private Explorer in Quebec state - Lake Tortue. Pretty big thing but built a little like an airship - however lots of air in it in this case.
Even with film company money the Global Explorer was seemingly too expensive to run... although from memory it only had two O-540s and about 90 odd kts! |

:ok: As for air-transportable cars, I have yet to meet a pilot who will settle for a small car, so we'll first have to establish the smallest model that Sam's ego will allow him to drive. We can then move on to selecting a suitable aircraft. We might still end up with a C-130..... ;) |
Hummer H1 or stretch Caddy as a minimum!

See, now we're getting somewhere!

That moniker doesn't ring a bell here unfortunately.
His ‘tactical’ was Pencil 3 afaik. “ Always straight, never level” |
