I've decided against a Victa Air Tourer....

..... or a home-built plane.

I think I need something for intercontinental flights so I can travel overseas:

TU-95 BEAR COMPLETE on eBay (end time 23-Oct-10 18:34:02 BST) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TU-95-BEAR-COMPLETE-/300471828159?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item45f5843ebf)

[THE BOOGER]

You would have to go back to work to pay fuel bills for that one :D

you guys really need to look through thier website...... they have some very nice machinery for sale, T34, T55 and T72 tanks, Mil-Mi 24 Hind helecopter gunships, surface to air missle launcher systems, etc........ :drool:

Id love a Hind but only if I could fly it. Talk about an airshow attention grabber !

[Sprint]

airshow attention grabber? i was thinking it'd be perfect for that early morning commute to work......

[VladTepes]

Ron the Victa wuld be slightly cheaper to run... very importatn to keep teh Greens happy these days, I'm told :ol:

Go on....

Not THAT one perchance ?

Not THAT one perchance ?

Not unless it has changed registration - learnt at Hoxton Park, they had about five or six 115s with regos VH-*HP. First solo was in FHP.

Always been VH CFE I'm afraid.

Shame - we LOVE to find ex pilots of our planes. Have had a ew guys in who flew some of our warbirds back in teh day.
