tous Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) After nearly twenty years of admiring The Big Giant Head's taste in automobiles, motorcycles and aircraft, there is only one reasonable conclusion. Eric needs an airplane. He lives near a municipal airport, so it won't be a long walk to visit his wings. He can hot rod it; and then wait for 30 years for an FAA inspector to come around and approve his improvements. He can install a premium audio system and blast rock and roll to the clouds, similar to the way SuperAmerica uses chemtrails. He can get one of those neato white shirts with the epaulettes with four gold stripes like Tony has. He can fly down and brunch with Rabbi. And the best reason Eric needs an aircraft: he is still young enough to earn back the fortune he'll lose. Edited July 12, 2018 by tous 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted July 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2018 How does that GoFundMe stuff work, anyway? I would love to have an aircraft one day. I’ve spent some time flying Ultralights and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will see what the future holds. I have a lot of work to do first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubdriver Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Given the BGH, it would need to be open cockpit, no? Perhaps a 650 Stearman or a Ryan ST? -Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Not enough room for your luggage. Start out with a Cessna 195 and when you're comfortable with one round engine, move up to a T-50 (good enough for Sky King) or a Beech 18. These are just training wheels for a B-29.
