If I were a billionaire I wouldn’t buy mega yachts. Aircraft of every type, yes. Tasty vintage piston driven fighter. Maybe a F-86, too.

I would settle for a beautifully restored 1957 Chevy.

I agree. I would go for replicating Bob Hoover, with the F86 and P51, although I would probably replace the Aero Commander with a Twin Commander for the turbine engines. There would definitely be a Staggerwing in my multiple hangers, alongside a Stearman, Cessna Commander 195, Pitts S1 and S2, Extra, J3, Champ, Luscombe, Bonanza, every RV, from the 3 to the 15 and on and on. I like the idea of walking out my back door at my own airstrip and having to decide which plane to fly, low and slow, serious cross country, aerobatics or nostalgia.

I’d settle for a Helio Stallion in mint condition. I like an airplane that barely needs a runway.
