Since 1964 I wanted a Vincent. Now have two (1950 C Shadow, 1954 C Rapide with sidecar), and have owned two more stock (1948 B Rapide, 1951 C Rapide), and two Norvins (Norton frames, Vincent twin motors). They'll bury the Shadow with me if it's not against environmental regulations. :biggrin

Ha, wish I was. We love L. Mead in the Albatross. Canyon cruises are pretty awesome, then LV at night. One more, (used to be) obsession. Ever heard of the Burning Man Festival? Here it is from 2 miles up. 30,000 people down there. A week in the dust of Black Rock City.

Mines a G36, but still not as cool as your plane. I couldn't afford the fuel, much less the actual plane. You gotta take me somewhere in it one day.
A true Burning Man would do that jump with no shorts!

OK, so bear with me on this.. As obsessions go, airplanes are a pretty good one and they lead to fun things as many members here have found. Here's a few examples;
We're in the Albatross one day in Key West, on the ramp prepping for a trip to Panama. We always get nosey people that are curious about the plane and that's cool. So there's a knock on at the back door and voice says, 'Hey, can I come aboard'. Of course, we're all busy with charts and stuff getting ready for 1000 mile water crossing, but, sure come on in. So this guy bounds up the steps and introduces himself, "Hi, I'm Jimmy, Jimmy Buffet". Well ok then, welcome aboard. So for the next hour or so we are entertained with stories and tales of flying the Carribean and the Americas by Mr. Buffett. Cool. He even helped us with some flight planning and a new destination in Honduras to one of his favorite watering holes.
A few months later, we're on the ramp in Chicago. Don't remember why but we're getting some fuel and a couple of guys pile out of some corp jet across the ramp and one of them makes a bee line to our plane. He's waiving his arms and you could hear him telling us how cool this plane is and wow, what fun that would be and so on. We hear that a lot (and they are right). Well he gets closer and introduces himself. He actually didn't have to introduce himself. We all know Mr. Bradshaw. What a nice guy. He's as much fun in person as his on-air personality seems. We promisedto pick him up someday for a fun trip.
Then we're in Florida for the Superbowl a few years back and were asked to take a guy and his girlfriend for a ride. Guys shows up without girlfriend. He says she stayed at the hotel, cause she gets sick in airplanes. Too bad, I would have loved to have met Ms. Kardashian. But Reggie was fun to be with. Too bad al that with him and him/her didn't work out;
Next we're on a nice lake somewhere and a bunch of hotties cruise up and want to come aboard for a photo. Who are we to say no. So we check ID's (not really) and haul'em up.... they stay long enough to drink all our vodka and make a mess of the place. But they were fun. Think they invited us back to their hotel, but valet could'nt park what we were driving.
Obsessions are cool.
