Jayne Mansfield vs Marilyn Monroe

[Scrapheap]

The Ted Smith Aerostar is the fastest production piston twin, however it can only carry 6 people, has limited payload and range.



The Beechcraft B60 Duke has slightly more payload and range, but is slower and is a gas guzzler.



The Cessna 421 has much better payload and range, but has expesive to overhaul, geared engines.



The Piper Navajo is slightly slower than the 421, but has counter-rotating engines, which are safer when the left (port) engine goes out.

The Ted Smith Aerostar because it balances speed and expense well. As for limited range flights to the East coast or Canada would be more economical and faster via commercial flight. Only 6 people? BFD, you are an aspie spazz and don't need more than that around to fucking drive you nuts. It is aesthetically pleasing too.

I think that you should buy a P-38 Lightning.

Not as practical but a definite cool factor with the P38. Sort of like having a pristine 1902 Swiss Luger 7.65 cal.

Winning ticket first, plane next. 

If you win the lottery why can't you buy them all?

But part of the reason for getting such a plane would be to avoid having to deal with getting molested by the TSA.

It's not so much an issue of people it can carry as payload capacity. Of these 4 planes, it has the least.

I would love to have a piston twin that could carry 4 people to a range of at least 2,000 nautical miles @ 260 KTS.

Too Expensive.  about $3,000,000 IIRC, plus high operating expenses.

The only warbird that I'd consider is that Yakovlev Yak-3 that's for sale at controller.com. They want $400,000 for it which is pretty damn reasonable.

Of course.

Because I'd go bankrupt trying to maintain them all, especially the Duke and C 421.

Five, according to Wikipedia...three from her marriage to Mariska's dad.

Cool info, I can't + you for it though.
