How much fun would that be? I flew one at NAS Corpus in 1967. Not exactly a high performance aircraft, but it'd be fun to fool around in it.

A friend of mine was looking at one of the T-28's on the website...Kinda expensive...

A COD has space to haul people/ things around in.

I'd love to have this stereo system.

MBL speakers $180,000
MBL amplifiers $76,000 per pair and there are 2 pairs in this pic
MBL preamp $24,000
MBL digital transport and digital-to-analog converter $48,000
Who knows how much the speaker calbes, power cables and interconnects cost but it was probably a lot.

Who the hell was in charge of naming planes?

N88BA '50 DEHAVILLAND SUPER CHIPMUNK
N26PX MAYOCRAFT P-26D PEASHOOTER
N854DP YAK

Though maybe the above are canceled by

N91RW CESSNA A-37 DRAGONFLY
N167NM BAC 167 STRIKEMASTER
N611JR HAWKER HUNTER

And due to my most northern existence, I would kill for a DHC-2 DeHavilland Beaver. Minneapolis to fishing on Lake Superior in an hour. Just needs a trolling motor.

Bacvk in the 1960's my grandfather worked with the Confederate Air Force down in the Rio Grande Valley. I had lots of fun watching him and his friends restore the World War II warbirds.
