What is your favorite Airport?

<strong>Roy:</strong> I like Lincoln Airport because that is where I took Ground School and it is my "home" airport. I also like Nice Côte d'Azur Airport because the plane spotting is awesome.

<strong>Greg:</strong> I like Lincoln or Auburn Airport because I like to fly with Young Eagles. I also like Whitman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. Ivalo Airport in Northern Finland because the snow was cool and it was fun to walk through that snow to board our plane.

Both of us have goals to travel to St. Maarten Airport so that we can see the planes land right over our head!

What private plane would you like to own?

(if money was not an object!)

<strong>Roy: </strong>I would want either a <a href="https://www.gulfstream.com/en/aircraft/gulfstream-g800/">Gulfstream G800</a> or a fully upgraded Aviat Husky. The G800 is the pinnacle of luxurious private jets, and the Aviat Husky is the 210 and the Kitfox combined due to both of its large cargo capacity and short field capability. But if I am being practical, I would like a Kitfox STi or a Cessna 210. The Kitfox STi can land anywhere, and the 210 can carry a lot of cargo and has a long range.

<strong>Greg: </strong>I would like the Piper Seminole, RV-6, or M700. The Piper is my favorite plane, the RV-6 because it would be fun to do sport flying, and the M700 to fly across the country.

What is your favorite Aircraft to fly on?

<strong>Roy:</strong> My favorite aircraft is the Boeing 787 because of the cool buttons on the windows and the jet lag reducing cabin pressure system. I would like the 747 but the one I flew on was a museum piece, ancient.

<strong>Greg: </strong>I am probably the same as Roy.

What is your favorite Commercial Airline?

<strong>Roy: </strong>My favorite airline to fly on domestically is United because they are American and formed from Boeing and flew the 747. Internationally, I prefer British Airways because they let us sit in the captains seat of the A380 and they are British.

<strong>Greg: </strong>As far as commercial airlines go, I like Emirates because they have Monopoly.

What is the best RC Airplane to fly?

<strong>Greg:</strong> The Piper Cherokee is the best RC Airplane. It doesn’t get blown around by the wind. It is also capable of doing stunts. I find it very relaxing to fly if you are on “safe” mode.

<strong>Roy: </strong>The best RC airplane to fly is my FMS P-51 Mustang Reno racer. It gives you top speeds of roughly 95 mph and can sustain high speeds for eight minutes. This is pretty much unheard of because the other planes of the 1100mm size class that go that fast are EDF jets and they are much shorter flight times (around 3 minutes).
