I read the Kitplanes discussion and thought that a poll of this group

questions;

What airplane do you own?

What dream airplane would you like to build and/or own?

My vote on both questions is the correct choice, of course.

The Bowers Flybaby. Which, you all will surely agree, would win any
poll of well educated homebuilt airplane enthusiasts as the ultimate
dream plane.

Barely started KR-2

either X-15,
drawbacks:
only a single-seater
_terrible_ handling characteristics
*damn* that "tow-plane" is expensive
XB-70
one sweet-looking plane, but
an excoriable safety record
and the hanger-expense is a killer.
or SR-71
world's fastest two-seater, but, d*mn,
the way she leaks fuel on the ground.
(there are GA planes that can fly for
an _hour_ or more, on what a BlackBird
on the ground leaks in one *minute*)
