: So what would my fellow wixers start with, Oh you have to
: include at least one transport, one seaplane and one jet.
#1: The transport would be one of the recently (or about to be) retired Buffalos.
#2: The seaplane would be a Canso, maybe the one from Gananoque.
#3-7: The jets would be a set of five of the retired CF-5s for formation displays. Four for formation displays with a back-up. Each would have a different colour scheme to represent CF-5s operated by the CAF in the past, and the more colourful the better. (Well this is about dreaming isn't it?)
#8: One of the current P-51D warbirds with a history tracable back to the RCAF. I would like to see it in Canadian markings.
#9: A CF-100, as there are none of these in flying condition it would be nice to see one returned to the air.
#10: If I would limited to 10 airframes, I would keep space in my hanger for organizations to take their turn at restoring airfraft. For example, just in case one of the static display/under restoration Lancasters in Ontario need a new home, I would like to give a restoration team a place to work.
