I don't, but have been flying my whole life.

If you do, please post a picture. Personal or corporate. Would love to see them.

Had a 182 Turbo glass panel...sold it a few years ago. Great personal plane for flying around Texas and La.

Flew it to CA a few times as well.

No, if I did it would be a citation x.

Think OP asked what people have actually own/ed, not what father in laws own, or what you dream of owning

If we are dreaming, count me in for BBJ any flavor.

TimeRookie · 8 January 2017, 11:59 AM

I have 3. They hang on the wall of my shop. R-C planes.. ;)

I got that Paul, you didn't need to explain it.

Definitely dreaming on the G650. Owned a C152 years ago.

Oh good...maybe for others then

BBL · 8 January 2017, 12:46 PM

OP - who did you fly for, sir?

Chewbacca · 8 January 2017, 12:59 PM

Nice thread topic.

Slippy Chips · 8 January 2017, 01:48 PM

Nope, but it's on my bucket list to fly in a private jet.
I'm still like a kid when I fly (which I do weekly). Always get the window and enjoy the view!

breitlings · 8 January 2017, 02:49 PM

I still deal with a bit of fear and claustrophobia while flying. First class helps but any tips from pilots would be helpful.

rodo · 8 January 2017, 03:15 PM

Not me but dad has a cherokee (I've got my PPL)

Buy the most expensive headphones you can afford

Sorry for the

I do not and never will own a plane.

Those RG's were fun--as long as the gears came down

lapince · 9 January 2017, 01:14 AM

When I was 17 my dad, who used to fly Cessnas, wanted me to take lessons, since I really don't like heights, I couldn't imagine myself in the cockpit looking down, I'm fine on a commercial one NOT looking through the window, I can look when the plane is high in the clouds but really don't like when you see the ground, so of course I said no thanks Dad...

kearez · 9 January 2017, 02:39 AM

The g1000 makes it a pleasure to fly, way better than those kln 94s I used to use.
Yea never really trusted those, rgs I,stupidly let someone talk me into talking one into imc and what do you know gear was showing it wasn't down and locked on final.

m32 · 9 January 2017, 03:21 AM

Our company has a Beechcraft 200 and a Cessna 425. The King air has been rock solid for us... the Cessna...not so much

What year is the corsair ? That must be over 20 year old

bayerische · 9 January 2017, 04:03 AM

I have many, too bad they're all Virtuals.

I retired from American Airlines flying a B-767. Soloed in a C-150 when I was 16. Many in-between but never owned one.

My friend flys and owns a Mitsubishi MU2. Same class as a King Air except better performance ( he says) 250-300 knots. Flown with him a bunch on business trips. Great way to fly.

This is his actual plane before he owned it. Still has the same paint job

I normally ride shotgun when it's just the two of us but not this time. Pic below

The MU-2 is a nice and fast bird

Just that the Garretts make it somewhat noisy

I would go for a Piaggio Avanti

It is loud-- must have serious head phones on. I've only worn what he has on board and generally listen to the "pilot" ATC chatter.
