We build them...ever think about flying them?

I guess the T-41 isn't really sexy enough, though I have over 300 hrs of Instruction Given, in the A, B, and C models. I tell you what, going at Vx with 210 hp min weight with a climb prop from sea level will really get you happy. We used to call them U-2 takeoffs, and loved to show those guys in the black jet how to to it right. At least as right as you could in a 172. The T-34 is fun too, but if I could just strap on a pair of spurs and slide into just one F-104... even just to taxi it and make the engine grrrrrrrowlllll.

Sorry for the double post.... I hadn't checkedd for typos then hit the wrong button.....

Flying Prowlers is where I get the money to make models in the first place, for whatever THAT'S worth....

Hey now,
My pick would have to be either the P-39 or the Stang. H*ll I'll take the stick on both of them.
My first flight was a B-25, can you say SWEET...!!! I also have about 45hrs stick time(front seat) in the T-6
Flaps up,Mike

The Planes of Fame museum at Chino California gives warbird rides, but the only ones they give rides in that have dual controls are their T6 & B-25. Not sure if they allow passengers to take the controls. There is a dual controlled P-51 at Chino, and I do believe that they do give rides in it and allow the passenger to take the stick.

Besides the P-47, my other "want to fly" is the Pitts Special. Knew a couple of people that owned singe-seaters, but none that had 2 seaters, so.......

Ok, I'm the exception. I flew them now I'm going to model them. I started building when I was 14. Then I stoped a year later to study them books and was rewarded with the oppertunity to fly in the Canadian forces for four years. Now I'm trying to finish Belchers Tutor jet trainer that I amounced numerous flight hours on. DO I STILL DREAM THOUGH!!!!! I'd love to get my hands on a F4U-1D and take it to heven and back

I like to fly in ME-262,Bf-109Gs[specially in plane number 1 + ~ it's Hartmann plane ] and Fw-109 If I have chance in my life to fly them I will not leave that chance however it's hard to be true :(
I like to learn how to fly would u?

No doubts - Hawker Hurricane Mk I or/and Spitfire IX - I really love these birds ! Aleksander

Got to be a Hunter ,that plane is sex with wings. a close second is an EE Lightning cos my grandad used to build em cheers GREGERS

I couldn't choose a specific aircraft or spacecraft. I would like to experence all
of them. Everyones has good taste on what they have chosen, and others have
told of the many opportunities to fly in the older warbirds. For those who want
to be a pilot, (the first step) that will get you where you want to go.3,000-4,000
is the cost for all this fun.working with preservation organizations like the CAF
will help as well along with letting you crawl through a 1:1 operating model of
your favorite. AT an airshow I paid 5.00 to sit in a P-51 Cockpit for 10 minutes
and enjoyed it emencely. Lord knows How I would have felt if they would have
let me take it for a spin! Owning a plane or a warbird is an amazing experience
wether a P-51 or a Cessna 182E (the one airplane I did Own). I have my eye on
a T-38 and/or a AH-1F I saw in a sales paper for aircraft for only 1.2 mill each. It's
a good price and it could work except I'm 1.2 mill short! Oh but to dream............

Hey All,
To own and fly whenever I want a Goose or widgeon but for a ride its got
to be the Blackbird,It's the most awesome to watch takeoff/land it would be
ultiawesome to fly ! A flight in a TA-152 would be great for the history though!
Good Hunting,

I crew chief and do photography for Red Storm Airshows out of Broomfield, Colo.
Imagine my joy when Trumpeter finally put out a MiG-17 (FT-5) two seater
fighter/trainer. Now I get to build a model like the one I get to fly in. KOOL!

Lemmesee,Spitfire (obv),Vulcan,Lanc,A-10,hell,pretty much anything with wings would suit me just fine! Oh,and some big weaponry!

F14 Tomcat VF-84 Jolly Rogers, AH-64 Apache, & a Tie Interceptor!!
