PBY Catalina-
Could keep it at my house on Lake Keowee. And my neighbors thought some of my cars are too loud :lol:

A-10 Warthog- Just in case any of my friends need some close air support

F-15 E. If you have to ask….. There are some days I really miss my Air Force days

PC-12. Got to have a great utility bird

Falcon 10X- why not?

Just Aircraft SuperStol. Got to support the local businesses

Keep my A36. What a great plane.

Piaggio Avanti for going places

Already have a "fun to fly" plane - an Aerostar 702

Maybe a modernized P-51, the Pilatus PC-7 comes to mind.

Tarver's thread about twin turbine helicopters made me want an A109 or an S-76, maybe with $375M I could afford the care and feeding... for a while

I think the more complicated question is: where would I be paving that private runway for my ranch?

I'd start with: Waco RNF, F5, ZPF6 and UPF 7. I'm collecting all the F series Waco's. Then Waco cabin. Then a Waco 9, 10 and Taperwing.

I've got a lot money left, so:

Beech 18
Lockheed 10A
Lockheed Vega
Stinson Gullwing
Stearman biplane
Howard DGA
Sopwith Strutter
JN 4 Jenny
Fokker Dr I

That only gets me to about 5.5 million. I'll need to spend a couple million on a hangar. Then I need $5 million at 5% to fund salaries to care for them.

I've still got most of the money left so I'm going to have to think a lot more broadly about the collection.

Jet card
300' yacht
Upgrade the Bo - 550+prop, tips, panel, windows, paint, interior.

I'm low maintenance.

Almost forgot... a stack of wish-you-were-here postcards to send the boss.

Enough land in central Indiana to put each of my kids in a house there. Big enough to call it a "compound."

Or, an alternative: If I bought a Connie, how long could I run it before burning through $375M?

I like your plans. Isn’t there a racer in IN that has a 415 acre compound for sale now? Hidden Hollow Ranch. In Columbus, IN.

As for mine, I’ve got a simple list. A King Air of some sort, or a small jet like a CJ2 or 3, maybe a Cub too.

On another note, a PBY Catalina flew over my house on Sunday, and it would be super cool to convert one to a modest camper. Or a Mars made into a larger camper. And I’m sure that would burn through a lot of AMUs for care and feeding, as well as a hangar to fit it.

Powerball used to be $1, once per week.

Then it was $1, 2x per week

Then it was $2, 2x per week

Now it is $2, 3x per week

I'm not sure if I have a gambling problem, but I think the state does.

It's that Damn inflation I tell ya!

Any game of chance where the government is entitled to grossly more of the reward than you are to play, and you are the only one with skin in the game (cash on the table), is not a game I desire to play. It’s a legalized taxation scheme where one person benefits whilst millions of others are the financiers.

No thanks. :hammer:

Aerostar. Always loved them

T-34. Warbird, but not restrictions.

CAP-10 nice aerobatic trainer to teach with.

If I went jet, it would be Phenom 300. LOVE how it looks. Although PC24 is tempting.

OV-10 would be great.

One of the tandem turbo prop trainers.

No winner. Now $1.5 billion. So I'm guessing about $500 million lump sum after taxes.

Does that extra $150 million change anyone's list?

Depends where you reside. In Miami you net about 700 million. In New York Shitty about 580 million.
