I saw this asked in this forum, but really, what three(3) aircraft would you buy if you won 60 million USD? the top answer will be given a third ownership in my 1/16 scale spitfire (it needs paint).I ask this for those of us who dream of owning and flying a real spitfire!

For my purposes, the first would be the Cessna Conquest II. Just right in terms of size, capacity and speed for my needs. Beats the King Air all hollow. Next would be an F-104 Starfighter. I'd love to fly one of those again. Lastly, an executive Boeing 727. I love those old three-holers.

Sadly DeHavilland Mosquitos are few and far between. Failing that I wonder if anyone is selling or restoring a Hawker Tempest?
I wonder if there's an Avro Shackelton, that's basically a Lancaster with bigger engines and a tricycle undercarriage.
If it had to be modern then a Pilatus PC-9 or an Embraer Tucano.
If it had to be a modern passenger aircraft then the Raytheon Beechcraft Starship is super cool.

None. If I won 60 million, I would have spent my entire winnings on toys. Aircraft, or at least decent ones, cost several million each and all my money would be spent on vehicles, and they would be grounded since I had no money to spend on jet fuel (very expensive). So, I would squander the money on a few minutes of giddiness, and I would not do so.

an Airbus A320-232 converted into a corporate jet, an Embraer Lineage 1000 for the sleek smooth and pretty interior, and that new Honda jet, this will keep running costs to a minum low

Just a Bell UH-1 Huey. I'd need the rest for parts and fuel. Huey's are simple, and have that sound that tells everyone what's coming, kind of like a Harley!

P-51D, a Pitts s2b (bulldog pitts) direct from Aviat. , and a Caravan amphib.
this would only take up the first 2.5 Million . the rest I would use for my non profit orginazation to bring free airshows and motivational speaking to at risk kids all over America.
Oh yeah and I would be first in line for space ship ones first commercial flight.

If money were no object.....
1. Corsair
2. Gulfstream GV
3. Seneca V
Though I dont think $60 million would cover all that, at least for very long.

If I could afford it, I would buy the new Airbus A380 and customize it with the most stylish and uplifting (no pun intended) interior, complete with every convenience known to man.
