7GCAA Citabria

172esque speeds, decent handling and is docile and will loop and roll when you are feeling adventurous

Next is the Cessna 180 a real nice step up from the 170

asside from the citabria I do not have really much time in many aircraft but I have been lucky to fly around 25 different GA aircraft. The perks of your family living in a private aviation community

If I had the money I would buy a WWII Avenger. Imagine taxiing past an EAA breakfast while folding the wings. Those grey haired old timers would be chasing you down the ramp.

Not that I would ever go to such an event, but I would slowly taxi by.

The new Garmin G36 Bonanza... Most fun I've had in an airplane by myself.

"Positive rate", "Gear up"... "XM radio on"

Gotta love the G1000 avionics!

Piper Comanche 400! One of the sexiest looking singles out there, the Comanche just looks fast even sitting on the ground. The 400 with a 400hp IO-720 has the balls to back it up!

Not many of them around anymore, but the 7W, i.e., Spartan Executive, has my bet; gotta love the R-985 Pratt radial and the aircraft's performance relative to its contemporaries, not to mention modern day single recips. Plus it looks pretty darn good and NOTHING built today sounds like it.

Check out www.spartanexecutive.com.
