Inside this freezer were all the makings you need for frozen adult beverages, to be consumed after the flying was done. I guess I'd like to have me a B-25 or A-26 rigged up like that.

If I ever could get the counter invader I want to install a lift in the bombbay for a Harley
A-26

Just one... all around pick... I have dreamed of an Invader... Interior would have to have some seats for a couple friends but outside would look like one of the Air Force VIP transports. Fast... two engines... will make some cool flybys at 300mph sneaking over the tops of some hangars from behind. Found a picture... like this one...

I would have to say a P-47 razorback in 56FG markings.

Allright you mothers! 
It was suppossed to be just one, but thats cool. I guess I'll cave in and throw in another. If it aint going to be a D-9, it's gonna be an A-6. The best jet ever made.
Sitting in that big ole bee head, surveying the valley, just the thought of that, ahhhh, makes me happy, to say the least.
The other thing that sounds cool is the B-25/A-26 Harley and Beer cooler rig, It'd have to have the glass nose though. That'd be very cool, except, I keep on thinking of Jack Cook's story about dropping the bombs on the ramp. Imagine the Harley and the Cooler coming out then,,,there'd be some splainin to do, but I think I'm up to it.
Anyway, Ladies and Gentlemen, Here IS, The best best jet ever..

I've been thinking about this one for a while. Since nearly everybody is picking more than one, here goes:
1) OV-1
2) A-26 with a glass nose.

When we got the B-25 there was talk of toting a Harley, spare parts, tools ect to Reno and elsewhere. Ol' Jeff put an end to the dreams by saying "if one motor so much has sneezes on take-off it's bombs away Harley and all!" I still smile every time I think of that!

Gots to go with the FW-190. Any version, except the D models, they just look funny to me.

Hmmm. Ok, I'll play:
1. Bf 109... either an E, F, or K. Small, loud, fast, agile- that'll do!
2. Arado Ar 68E... a damned sexy biplane if there ever was one!
And because ya need to bring friends sometimes:
3. Douglas TBD-1 Devastator... room for three plus a load of stuff slung beneath, docile handling characteristics, great view from the greenhouse, and one hell of an historic aircraft type.

Well, I guess really I'd prefer a P-51........
