Which aircraft would you steal?

[IronWing]

The recent plane threads got me thinking, "If I could steal any aircraft and get to fly it for a year, which one would I go for?"

For the purposes of this thread assume:
1) No one gets hurt while you steal it
2) You somehow manage to steal all the fuel and support to keep it flying (think video game world)
3) Being an ATOTer, you just naturally know how to fly it.
4) If you choose a military aircraft, you get to use the weapons and, for reasons known only to game designers, there just happen to be stacks of air-air missiles next to the dumpsters behind the 7-Eleven.

Air Force One. Tour the world in style.

Edit: To beat the replies, technically a VC-25A, since I wouldn't bring along a President.

 

[TuSpockShakur]

Concorde. I only have a year to see the world with it. Time to get moving.

One of the oil monachs' flying palaces A380

Beat me to it. France? See you in 3 hours! :biggrin:

 

[Captante]

flaying palace (?!?)

Sounds painful!

 

[irishScott]

A fully loaded A-10. Then I go find a mountain to kill.

Indeed. I was thinking i would sleep in and fly out from NC to Amsterdam at 10am est get there 7pm dutch time. Have a nice meal and enjoy the nightlife for 6 hours and fly home and be in my own bed before midnight.

Since no one seems to want it anymore, an F-35. ....I might even get a medal for taking one off Uncle Sam's hands.

 

[blankslate]

c'mon you know this was going to be an answer.

I would like to change my answer. I, too, would like a flaying palace.

 

[mikeford]

Lear 23, last of the single pilot capable Lear jets, and no place in the world it can't go.

 

[K1052]

P-38L

Not really a plane buff, but I'd like either a WWI biplane, or a WWII fighter.

 

[Humpy]

I don't know what model, but whatever is best at landing and taking off from small, unpaved, runways and can hold the most fuel.

 

[chitwood]

one of these.

mostly because they were just here in Evansville last weekend.

 

[IronWing]

I'm leaning toward a helicopter simply because you can land most anywhere.

 

[TuSpockShakur]

SR71 Blackbird.

You are not going to fly your crew, posse or luggage for that matter anywhere. The Concorde seats up to 128 passengers and carries their luggage too. I can get up and go pee too.
