Too many to list, but I wouldn't say no to a Titan T-51.


Yea. Something like a Beech Staggerwing or a Cessna 195 would have a lot of
class, but Santa would have to bring a medical along with it. And even Santa
ain't gonna come up with a medical for _me_...

So I guess I will just have to "settle" for an ASH 25 Mi

Not sure how he is going to squeeze one of those down the chimney

Commander 114TC. Love the doors, room, interior and trailing link
landing gear. Hmm. Or a Lake amphibian. Like having much more
choice in landing spots.

If it can be a fantasy aircraft, then a cross between those two, but
with far more speed ;-)

With outboard speakers and the Wagner CD, I assume ;-)

Don't forget the surfboards.

And for me, a Ventus 2cxM.

Why a Huey? I've got a couple of thousand hours in the UH-1 series machines
and have found no other machine that I more enjoyed.

Interesting. Why the Huey?

Otherwise, a new 180hp engine with CS prop for the hawk will do nicely,
thanks.


Sorry, in this case Santa can bring only complete aircraft, not parts
or enhancements.

They were good aircraft overall, then? I've read that they are very
noisy, though. I've never seen one in person, although I did see a
large military helicopter with two rotors at an angle to each other
once, but I don't know what kind it was.
