What kind of airplane are you?

If you could be an airplane, what kind would you be? That’s what my friend, Bonnie Bing, and I asked ourselves after seeing the fabulous footage of a variety of aircraft flown by and filmed by Clay Lacy, who shared his adventures at WSU last night.

Bonnie said she’d like to be a fast and sleek Learjet. Some days, I’d like to be Air Force One and hear all the inside, secret “scoop”. Today, however, we agreed that we’re both feeling more like my dad’s slow (but cute!) Piper Tri-Pacer.

Let me hear from you. If you could be an airplane, what would you be?

    A DC-3 – old but in good shape and still plugging along; methodical but versatile; classic in appearance.

    I would be a sea plane, able to hit the lake or take an island trip, should the opportunity arise.

    A P-51 Mustang or a P-38 Lightning. Fast, sleek and old-school!

    I figure I’m a C-130. Big and slow but able to carry a lot of weight.

    I think a 23 model Learjet sums it up for me. Short, stocky, very fast and difficult to control!

    I’m just a scout. ;)
