Comments on: What Aviation Items Would You Buy If You Won Tonight’s PowerBall Drawing? http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=4397 Online perspective from the editors of "AOPA Pilot".

I’d buy a couple small planes and find a co-pilot who will listen to my stories. I beat the age 60 rule, retired from flying DC-10s and went to work flying DH Twin Otters at the Grand Canyon till I was 71 when part 135 carriers got the 60 rule. I think I had as much flying the Otters as anything.

Before that, though, take care of family first, give to a couple of charities that I already give to. Hide for a while. :-) Sure is fun to think about! However, I didn’t have the winning numbers, so it’s all moot.

2. New Cub-a-like
3. New factory RV-12
4. Total rebuild of my Aeronca Chief
5. Education endowment for the grandkids
6. My wife’s longed-for RV and a long tour of the USA

Um… maybe #6 ought to go first!
