Hey All,

I would build curling rinks across America so the USA could learn what a wonderful sport it is!

If i won "the Big Buck" and could not "buy something for me" i would offer paying the debts (mortgage, insurance, taxes...) for everyone i know and care about.

Organize 3 months offduty for SOH people and go touring the worlds plane nuts museums with those that wish to join... Dulles or Duxford, Berlin to the N.Y City Aircraft carrier.

Organize 2 months offduty for subsim people and take a tour around the sorlds most famous naval/sub museums. from HMS Victory to U-505 in Chicago...

Then i would get a Job with the Leir foundation, NY...:icon_lol:
Or a Job at one of said Plane Museums.

If you won megabucks at the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?

Honest to God -- I just bought it without winning the lottery! They don't make Cessna 310R's any longer. I guess if they did they'd cost about $800,000 to $1 million. So, if that were the case, then I guess I'd buy one new!

I guess I would simply payoff the loan early and perhaps add a few upgrades to the panel.

Cheers,

Ken

Buying out churches and building more animal shelters

In reality, who knows. Just remember, the lives of lottery winners often turn for the worse. What with all the "lost" friends and relatives suddenly hanging around, every one asking for donations and gifts...
Maybe that's why I don't play lotteries. Well, not since I won $500 twenty years ago, and bought a Valment M76 .223 rifle!
 
start my own "X" price programs for every subject which the government is too slow to do themselves:

- Space program (this one worked out well already)
- Self-Driving Car
- Alternative fuel vehicles (including planes)
- etc..

Those guidelines mess with my plans for an Aston Martin...
Feng seems to be on the right track... I'd probably set up some sort of "Genius Grant" (with the recipients to be determined by me :mixedsmi:). I'd have different categories: Art, Politics, Sociology, Technology. I'd want it to be aimed towards high school and college students.
 
Hire the right team to make a proper running *Perfect flight Sim* complete with all the goodies.

Help stamp out cancer

Animal shelters

My Church

The rest to any chairtable orginazation..

I actually dont want for anything but my Tina to be well again...
 
I'd probably have just about enough left after giving Uncle Sam his "share" to pay off my remaining medical bills and the money I've had to borrow from my parents just to keep my house and then I'd be broke, again. But hey that's alright I'm used to being broke, and starting to get used to being broken.
 
i'd set my wife up in business. she wants her own flower shop. she's a great designer. i wish i was able to give her the shot to work for herself.
 
I'd buy my lady a fully restored Deusenberg. Not for me... and she certainly doesn't need it.

Put the money in a trust, then establish a charity with the money.

I would retire and become the director of the chairty. We would look for people who have an idea that looks promising and that would help the world but, they lack the funds to make it work. We would work with them to see they succeed.

AH Ha! But you can't.

The stipulation was that you couldn't benefit from it at all (I'm presuming at anytime in the future either) ... I'm sure that as director, you'd have to be recieving a salary or some compensation from the charity.

To be honest, I don't think there is an exact answer that can be applied to this question ...
 
A Cessna 185 Skywagon... a new one. I love taildraggers. The Cessna 180 is a good plane too, albeit a bit underpowered.

Ahhhhh, but who said anything about drawing a salary? ;) All I need take are expenses.

I am sure, a rented, Citation, Condo on Westend Ave, and a BMW 750 are all legitimate expenses. Qui? :icon_lol:
