A trappable carrier doing 30 knots into the wind.
Yep, they sure are! I got my tailwheel training and endorsement in a Super Decathlon and also learned basic aerobatics in it. Way more fun than anything else I've ever flown. Wheel landings are a blast once you get the hang of it.
I booked aerobatics in a Citabria in Melbourne Moorabbin, most of the flight was upside down! They are a great line, sort of lego looking but real aeroplanes.
lego? That's an interesting perception, lol.
Yeah they really are a blast to fly. I flew for years with doing no more than 45° steep turns during training and on flight reviews, but when I decided to go for the aerobatics coarse, it opened up a whole new world to me as an aviator. I didn't take enough lessons to master anything, but it sure was FUN!
It was also my first experience flying an airplane with stick, tail wheel, as well as a constant speed prop.
The toughest part for me was getting proficient enough at wheel landings. It took a few lessons for me to overcome bouncing and PIO. My first few attempts looked like a kangaroo dance
+ Heli
Revo Trike, has 100 kts cruise speed, and great view.
They would need the capability to do water landings, but an Icon A5, PBY Catalina, a Cub on floats, etc, would be cool. Probably needs better developed water, though.

Ok so I am biased
Lynx Mk 86
I was a Lynx technician in the RNoAF for 18 years.
I'd love to see the following.
Cessna Caravan
Pilatus PC-12
Blimp/dirigible
Airbus A350 or Boeing 787
EC135 Helicopter
And a single engine turboprop like Cessna Denali or rainier, a post above mentioned the PC-12. would be perfekt for travelling fast between small airports.

Lynx pilots for 6 and Lynx/Gazelle technician for 11 years, back in the days when Lynx serviceability was really really bad

I worked from late 1997 to early 2016. Then I transitioned to NH90.
Guess you were still in nappies when I was working on them now I feel old
Went on to work on the big Boeings 747, 757, 767 and concorde
Could be. The Lynx is a wonderful machine both to work on and in action. There's nothing like it.

The Just Flight Archer in the PC and iOS FS is the ugly current fashion victim version. It has the ridiculous pointy spinner and dog's rear-end air intakes engine cowling and to top off the marketing division's insult, the top of the windscreen is blanked off to hold a tiny overhead switch panel so it has the '747 cockpit' look. The original switches position has blanking plates to cover newly empty places! The instrument panel is bare metal with exposed gauge lights to give a sort of 1960s military panel illusion.
A new Aerofly Archer or Challenger PA-28 180 with the attractive Vickers Viscount /FW 190 style spinner and traditional 'spot the new bird's nest' capability air intakes with the instrument panel that so many of us got to know in our sleep would be a wonderful reminder of old flights in the sweetest of all the Cherokees, tons of power and no fly-you-into-the-ground when things are going badly automatic rectactable gear extension as in the PA-28 R Arrow. It had the sweetest confidence boosting, gentle wings level stall and the 'chocolate bar' wing with a strong nod towards laminar flow sections glided forever during engine failure forced landing exams.
I am a bit of a fan.

I hope A2A is watching... A new market opportunity is opening up here, with a built in demand... And the same hope goes for JustFlight, Carenado, Alabeo, etc.

Yes. Just think we may have an opportunity to buy all our favorite add ons for a third time.

Ray,
You almost made me choke on my cheese bun with that comment! But, how true! I know I'll "pledge" to be a lot more selective this time if ("WHEN"... I hope) these companies get behind AFS2.
