The Ted Smith Aerostar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_Aerostar) is the fastest production piston twin, however it can only carry 6 people, has limited payload and range.

The Beechcraft B60 Duke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_Duke) has slightly more payload and range, but is slower and is a gas guzzler.

The Cessna 421 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_421) has much better payload and range, but has expesive to overhaul, geared engines.

The Piper Navajo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

Did you know that she was in the car during the accident that killed her mother? She was three years old and asleep in the back seat with her two older brothers while her mother was in the front seat with her boyfriend and a male driver. The driver was driving too fast and failed to see a truck before it was too late because a mosquito truck had just sprayed for mosquitoes and he plowed into the back of it and the car went partly under it. It cut off the top of the car and all three people in the front seat were killed instantly, while the sleeping children in the back seat had only minor injuries.

Yeah, I watch SVU myself from time to time. Jerry Orbach as Lenny Briscoe is still my favorite from any of those shows. RIP Jerry. :angel:

Wow. It really sucked for those children.

My dad had to live through something similar.
He was in the family car with his older sister driving when she lost control and spun out into a ditch.
It was an older car that didn't have saftey glass and the broken glass cut up both my dad and my aunt. She got the worse of it and bled to death. My dad still has scars from the accident.

That sucks. Even wrecks that don't leave people dead or mangled will jangle the nerves.

I have read that story, yes. Poor little kids, to lose their mom so young, but I'm glad they survived.

From what I've heard of Orbach, he was a classy guy. :)
