If you win the 1.6B loto tonight... whats going in your (new)hanger?
I'll start:
CJ-3 switching to a PC-24 when available.
Extra 300
Stemme S10/12
MD-500
Beaver on Floats.
Tricked out back country Cub.
Additional things I might consider:
PC-7 or similar...
P-51 or other war bird
Older G-V or a Citation X
(G650ER would be nice, but even winning 1.6B its a lot of $)

Notwithstanding the fact that Dassault builds a few military jetfighters, and my government would never allow its sale.
Buy Concorde and make it fly again?

I heard an interview with a mathematician once who said you’d be stupid not to buy a ticket because nothing else offers such a high rate of return and the potential loss is very low. He also said you’d be stupid to buy two tickets because even if you double your odds, they’re still astronomical.
