My favorite airplanes
(non turbine)
Lets do a little dreaming. Image you have a bottomless bank account. What would we find in your hangar?
This would be a real challenge for me since I love all airplanes, but somehow I’d make due. He’s my choices as of today, ask me tomorrow and it’ll change. It resembles the Army Air Corps hierarchy of aircraft from 1944.
- First on my list the ubiquitous J3 Cub. But not just any Cub, I would have the aerobatic, clipped-wing version.
- Next up, the gorgeous Taperwing Waco, which has always been an airplane that I have lusted after. In lieu of the Waco I would take a nice Stearman, in keeping with the WWII theme.
- I would love a T-6, just because. They are such a cool looking brute of an airplane. I guess watching the Aeroshell T-6 team too many times has permenantly etched the T-6 into my wishlist.
- The Twin Beech would be a blast to have around and is a true classic and the only airplane on this list that I have actually flown. She’s a true lady.
- Now this will be a bit cliche, but I don’t care, I must have a P-51 Mustang. Nuff said!
Beyond that I would have to keep myself off Barnstormers.com so I wouldn’t buy up a bunch of fun planes. That list might include:
- Vans RV (of course)
- Lancair Legacy
- Long Eze
- Cessna 400
- Pietenpol
- Fieseler Storch
etc…you get the point.
Who knew being rich could be so fun?!
What’s your list look like?

I love your favorite planes!!!
They were all very good and relevant choices by Brent!
Pipistrel Panthera is my first purchase if money is no longer an issue. Then the next would have to be something amphibious.
Pipistrel make some amazing aircraft that’s for sure!
I like all those aircraft. If I had a choice to choose any aircraft in money was not an issue, I would choose a heavy jet, something like a challenger 604 where I could take trips to any place in the world work in the aviation industry and it is one of my passions. I always wanted to get my pilots license but for not Ill stick to having clients charter them. I enjoy the newer aircraft options as there have been major updates in the almost everything regards to the aircraft. Now, only if this dream came true to owning my own jet! – Jay
That is just about as perfect of a list as you could make in my opinion. I would also love a Maule or Husky for some backcountry fun as well.
