They're typical German fighters. The biggest engine available in the smallest airframe possible.
There's a single flying Fw 190 A out there (also at the FHC), but no Doras unfortunately.
I'd love to see a P-61 Black Widow take to the sky. I know there is one under restoration at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, but those projects take a long time and lots of money, so I hope it doesn't get stalled before I can see it.

There's one at Kansas City. A bunch of junkers at Pima.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
fotofrank Again, I'd buy a ticket tomorrow! I saw the airplane at Sun n Fun back in the '80s.

My dad loved these. He serviced them during his early days with TWA. I’d definitely hop on board just to have that connection.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I would like to see a Vought XF5U (Flying Pancake) in action.
Gee Bee R1. But I think I'd have to watch with my eyes closed.

I would love to see an Fw 190 D take off and fly some day.
I know the Flying Heritage Collection's D-13 is airworthy, but sadly they don't actually fly it. It's better that way I think, but it still means there are no flying examples of that beautiful plane out there.
Doesn't Brietling run a Connie as support for their airshow crews? Or this may be an old pic.?

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Est.1961 I think there are a couple of Mossies still flying, but I would like to see a Short Sunderland take off and land. Joe

Kermit Weeks has a Sunderland but it's hangared. You can walk through it though. Geez, it's huge!
Drums, the Bovington Mk V is in running order. But they have stopped running it because of its age and they don't want to cause it any damage. But you never know, maybe one of these days. They have a Mk I that you can go inside.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Bristol Beaufighter. It just looks like a bad ass plane.
Don, I was going to mention the Detroit Open. I'm also a Detroit native form the southwest side of town. Where did you live?
Put me down as a second for the B-58! That would be cool to see. I've seen the F-111 light up on the fuel dump, it's IMPRESSIVE!

How about the Spruce Goose?
I type on a tablet. Please excuse the terseness and the autocorrect. Not to mention the erors.
I’d like to add the British TSR-2 to my list.

At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
Oh, yeah! The 1956 Lincoln Continental! It was the top notch car of the day. I remember it cost about $10,000, and that included a trip to Detroit to see your car being built. Plus, they also gave you an engraved nameplate on the dashboard, personalized as being "specially built" for you. What an ego trip! Of course, few could afford that price in 1956.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
I'd travel to Utah to see Art Arfon's Green Monster, the one with the J79.
Those days of the LSR run with privately developed cars were very cool.
Okay ;
Do I have to give them in order . Well here goes .
One: 1956 Lincoln Continental
Two :Boing 214 Seaplane .
Three :Lockheed - L-1049 " Super G " Constellation .
Four : F-86 - D
Five : 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air with F.I.
And Six : 1958 Chris - Craft or Owens Custom Coronado at speed on Lake Powell .
Drums01, your in luck when it come to the Titanic. There is a cruise line that is in the process of building a replica cruise ship of the Titanic. I don't recall which line it is, but I have read a couple articles on it. I stand Corrected. I just googled it. The Titanic II looks like it will be much bigger than the origional. and mor moder hull design.
For me would be a Sdkfz. 234/2 Puma. None of these turreted 8 rads are in existence.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Wow, many of you have already listed some of my holy grails; like the B-36, B-58, and XB-70. I guess I could add an SR-71 hitting thier afterburner.
For land tracked vehicles I would say having the ability to watch and walk through any WW1 Mk-V tank. My other tracked vehicle would be a complete WW2 armored train (German or Russian).....
My number 1 pick for land wheeled vehicle would be to inspect and watch the 4 engine Mickey Thompson speed record car of the 60's, closely followed in 2nd by an old 30's rear engine Auto Union race car.
One that comes to mind for the water would be an 1800's steam paddle wheel battle boat like the USS Hartford, CSS Alabama, or the USS Kearsarge. My second would be a full recreation of the Titanic.

1/35 Churchill Mk IV AVRE with bridge - DONE
NEXT PROJECT:
1/35 CH-54A Tarhe Helicopter
I would love to resurrect my first car, a 1960 Cadillac convertible, wine-red body with black top and black leather interior! It was strictly factory stock, and had a bit of wear and tear from the first owner, but dang! It was still a Caddy, complete with the spaceship tail fins!
Any of our "superdreadnaughts", from the Nevadas to the Colorados, or our earlier carriers, the Lexingtons, the Ranger, the Wasp, or the Yorktowns, in their between-the-wars livery.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
How about a B-58 Hustler. I'd love to see and hear that thing take off.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
I'd second the TBD and add a Vindicator. How about a P-43 Lancer or Defiant? PE-2?
