In no particular order, SR-71, Vulcan, Spitfire, Harrier, Tomcat. Clearly none of which is ever going to happen, particularly seeing as I'm currently on a Robin HR200

Five dreams

PBY Catalina to wander from lake to lake on a Canadian camping holiday of indefinite length.
MiG-15 for a taste of the legend.
J-35 Draken for the clean angular lines and Nordic tourism.
Tupolev 95M for the feel of the turboprops on a 20+ hour patrol flight.
Sukhoi 47 Berkut just to see what swept wings mounted back to front can do.

I still think longingly back to 1995 or so when the Finnish Air Force was selling its fleet of MiG-21s with Marconi electronics for USD 3,000 apiece.

5 Airplanes of your choice you would love to fly.

In my dreams (have only some thousands hours of "experience" on a few of these types with MS FS ;-)) are:

Single seat Fighters:
Macchi MC 202 Folgore
Reggiane RE 2005 Sagittario
Messerschmitt BF 109G
Focke-Wulf FW190A
Messerschmitt Me 262A

Airliners/transport/bombers:
Savoia-Marchetti SM.55
Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 Marsupiale
Savioa-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (aka "the damned hunchback")
Douglas DC3 Dakota
Arado Ar 234 Blitz



(sorry for any eventual imprecision in airplane's names)
