I'd get a 109F-4 with JG26 markings.

That or JU-87B-2. I'd get it up to about 15k above my kid's house, and turn on the dive sirens at 7am to wake them up and take me to breakfast.


EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee DENNNYS!!!!!!!!!!

If I won the lottery.... wow, I think I'd waste all the money in a lot of planes!

Uhmmmm.... maybe my real "dream-came-true" would be a FW 190D-9... but there aren't many of them around.

I'd like to have a Hog, too... and a Mustang, a Spitfire, a 109 and.... wake up, you dreamer! ;)

Btw, the stuka is a good idea to wake up kids. I'd really like to see that scene!

Ju87Ds were converted to a new Ju87G standard, which were used for tank attacks. They were equipped with two BK37 Flak guns. As the G-Version was no longer used as a dive bomber, the Ju87-G did not have any dive brakes. The G1-Series were converted from Ju87-D3, while the G2-Series modified from the longer D5-Series.

:rofl :rofl You're right, bug, if you have the money, what do you need beauty for? :aok

Back to the wish list, well, maybe I could be happy the same if I had the money to buy (or the ability and time to build) a replica, like the ones in this page

warbuddies (http://www.warbuddies.homestead.com/)

They are really cute, and the FWs and Corsairs do have the right look!
