he wont. the noise will wake you up, and that defeats the objective of being stealthy.

Im putting a nice big A380 VVIP on my list. Its a heap of junk, but i can live in it, far up in the sky....

Failing that, you will find me wishing for a trident. the most beautiful airliner ever built. Despite the fact it also hasthe ugliest undercarrage ever put on an airliner :razz:

Oh, and from the above...i picked Gnat. Mainly because i could repaint it in S.S.Esses USN scheme, and go hunting for topper.

Well out of all the aeroplanes ever built, if it came right down to it, I'd have first and foremost a Dornier Do-X. I'd live in it!

After that either a Dakota or a PBY-4 Catalina.

Every one of those has been with me since early childhood and always stir my soul.

If it had to be classic Bristish mind you I wouldn't be too upset and I'd take one of Paul Stoddart's European liveried (and VIP equipped) 1-11s.

Out of the above, I had to choose Hunter as it's by far the sexiest aeroplane in that list even though I'd never be able to afford to keep it!

I agree with the undercarriage but nothing beats the VC10 for looks. That aircraft has it all like no other aircraft has ever had - looks, performance, sound, British-made...

Remember Ray Hanna's immortal answer when asked which aircraft he thought was the most enjoyable to fly, he answered "A Spitfire or a Gnat". When pressed to answer which he would rather fly, he answered "Both!"
