Should ever become rich, like fuck you money rich, I’m buying a PBY Catalina and turning it into an RV of sorts - not an original idea. There was a company out of Australia that was modernizing them. Not as roomy as a big bomber, but has a ruggedness and the go anywhere capabilites unique to flying boats. And I fucking love the look of the wings over the fuselage.
The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.
Imagine the amazing globe trotting townhouse you could build inside of a B-52!

Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, military helicopters don’t actually run on kerosene or avgas
They run on snow-shovels of cash flung into the intakes as fast as you can manage
Now thats-ah spicy meatball!
