What bird would you most want to fly?

Just wondered what aircraft ppruners would most like to fly.
Me, I wouldn't mind flying a Lockheed C130. Incredible machine. STOL grass strips multi engine and you can get your 4x4 in the back as well.

Supermarine Spiteful; DH Hornet; Lockheed SR71; many, many more! Did the C130 for lots of years and loved it, flew the Hunter for a few months and thought that was pretty cool too, while it lasted. I'm sure, BEagle, that you've also flown a few of the more interesting aircraft of the last 30 years or so?

Biz Jets, just give me a a small aluminium tube with 2 or 3 pure jets strapped to it. They do everything an airliner does but goes into more intersting airfields and is serviced by executive handlers. A fat arab shiek handing out $1000 tips would be cool too!

If I had a choice I'd go for the Vulcan. Following up close behind would be the B.52.

B747-400 my all time favorite No.1

A close 2nd would be either a Citation X or Gulfstream V for sheer pleasure!!

Citation X,

Fastest commercial Jet I hear, whilst concorde's grounded anyway?
Some fast rich birds in the back wouldn't go amiss either!

I've had the priveilage of flying in a lot of military aircraft before. Fav was the Jag although the Hawk was pretty good too. A Citation X would be nice, especially on a Bahamas run ;-)
