Good fun quiz I thought
I got PC-12 .. which was what I often think about …. speed, payload, range and operates from short grass strips
My wife got .. Bonanza .. 100% spot on .. and 10 years on she still has not forgiven me for selling it !

My automotive analogy
Forget the Porsche, I just love the Avanti, especially the R3

I’ve always thought the Porsche/Mooney comparison that’s common in the US press comes from the aviation writers knowing little about cars. My Avanti analogy comes both having ‘forward focused’ design done at a similar time, slightly unusual and not dissimilar lines, 2+2 seating, designed and built in the US rural midwest, smaller size than its contemporaries, good straight line performance with fair but not exemplary cornering, and very long period of production.

isn’t it the case the seating position in a Mooney is quite Porsche like? Cue Janis Joplin :)
Indeed that is one similarity, also I wonder what cinema & rock stars would have picked as piston aircrafts? assuming they got +3500$ budgets !
I am sure automotive fans would buy this one and taxi it around, but I don’t see many pilot attracted to that engine

I got a Piper Meridian, which indeed is a plane I’d like to own or at least fly, preferably a turbine version.
Sadly, even the piston powered one are way too expensive for me.
I’m a Mooney, which is pretty accurate
I’m Baron which is kind of close to DA42. What should I do to get TBM?
Beech 18. Perfect! :)
