I need a plane! Which one?

Isn't it interesting how people drop in, don't provide pertinent information, then disappear. Of course, it makes for lively banter.

 

There are many types. Do you have a color preference?

 

A nice, pretty, white one! With stripes! It kind of looks like a giant tylenol.

 

You mean like the B737s that fly out of the Janet terminal of McCaren International Airport to Groom Lake (Area 51) every day?

That should work. I can fly it by myself, right?

 

Well, yes, but one that's clean. That one is too dirty.

 

Of course.

Take your pick, they have plenty!

And your mission. You forgot to state your missions! How will you know if it is big enough or if the range right?

 

I need a rocket. Can someone suggest one? it has to cost less than 3 billion.

 

What's your mission? Low earth orbit, or interplanetary?

Personally, I like the SpaceX product, although I'm sure some on here will prefer the Atlas.

 

Im thinking interplanetary but I am scared of the running costs. Maybe a rocket flying club?

 

Huge plus to this baby...you'll never have to copy down a lengthy clearance. It's always "cleared as filed."

 

Burt Rutan did it off Long EZ money...

 

I think Burt did it off of OPM.

 

A Saturn V is in your price range but the fuel is an optional accessory.

 

Does it need to just deliver conventional ordinance or does it need to be nuke capable?

 

Dont listen to these other hacks. I am an expert. I fly rockets every day and the only one you should even consider is the RD-180. If you don't have dual combustion chamber, dual nozzle fed Kerosene and LOX then you aren't doing it right. Have you seen how limited solid fuel boosters are? No way to throttle back, once you light the fuse, its hold on for the duration.

 

Well,,, I agree with this but I think LOX is sooo yesterday and RD-180 has really crappy avionics. Besides, I need something that will carry at least 20 people and has really great range.

I looked at the Saturn V in Florida, but am having issues with how to get it out of the building and upright. Then theres the problem with finding mechanics to work on it.

This is just so complicated.

 

Avionics?

The Saturn V comes with a slide rule and a sextant. What more do you want? Got Neil and Buzz to the moon.

And to stand it up we can get you a big A frame and a block and tackle.

 

Al least make sure no insects are in the apparatus with you

 

Make sure you inhale when it is time as you dont want to stay awake, because it takes "Longer than you think, Dad! Longer than you think!"

 

As a kid I always wanted to be a cosmetologist. But I couldnt hold my breath that long....or speak Russian.

 

no there is nothing to be afraid of however it is not as cool as arriving at the local FBO and having the red carpet rolled out to greet you

 

I'm a wimp so please make sure it has a parachute! 😉
