Great question to the group. If $ was no object, what A/C that you have
actually flown would you like to own? Just for the fun of flying it again,
not
considering spares, parts availability, ease or diffuculty of maintaning,
etc...

T28B/C. A fun airplane that, if you respect it, won't "bite." While others
might also be fun (A1H, F7F, F4U) as my eyesight, hearing, and reflexes age
I must accept a level of realism, even in fantasy!g

Since I am being frugal in my choice, I should get a lagniappe. I would
pick a Shinmaywa US-1A Kai (four turboprop amphibian).

See at http://www10.plala.or.jp/strgzr/aircraft/us1/us1_e.html

Has a cruise speed around 300 kts. with decent legs. Fitted out as a flying
yacht I can travel from Artic to Antartic in comfort and style. It this
cool, or what?!?!?!?!?!

P.S. An alternative to the Kai would be that carrier that's up for auction.
Put a few T28C's on board and you have the World's Most Exclusive Flying
Club!g
