Holiday wishes

With the holidays coming, a pilots thoughts turn to what to tell his wealthy friends and relatives to get him for Christmas/Chanukah. I, personally, want 31 inch Bushwheels, Greg's extended gear, and a three bladed prop.
What would you guys get if someone else were paying for it?

A DC-3 and a PA-11-- you DID say someone else was paying!

I sort of was thinking of things for your plane... Why not a PA-14 with 200hp engine?

I'd like some really comfy aftermarket seats. This isn't something I hear much about....but I do know that the seats in most of the aircraft I fly are about as comfy as a stadium chair. Then I look at what comes in a Symphony or Lancair...wow.

I'd just like a monthy flying stipend. "Here's $1000, go run fuel thru your planbe."

I have a friend with an RV-9A and he put the Oregan Aero seats in - wow! Really comfortable! We flew a 4 hour leg this summer and it was nice! Love to put some of those in mine. Oh, the Bose X headsets were nice, too.

Oh, a Garmin 430, EDO 2440's, skis, Johan to call me back for the repower, fuel to be back down to say, $1.85. Recovering in a week for $500, insurance assuming I'm safe and a guarantee of no increases even for going North for at least five years.
I'm sorry guys, I got off the track. I thought it was the Easter Bunny's wish list. All I want is that we all enjoy what we have to the fullest degree possible and be safe. We know what we enjoy and do it. We are the luckiest SOB's there are!
Tailwinds,
