A nice shiny yellow koala B)
What would I buy?
First, I'd buy everyone here, beers and dinner (a few exclusions of course), then I would buy an EC 120 since I don't have a requirement for a huge people moving machine (lack of friends).
One the dust settles I would buy the whole Bell Helicopter Textron giant and see where I could run with it, (up, down, it doesn't matter).
With the left over cash I would maybe squander it on a homebuilt gyroplane to lend to those who were excluded from the dinner invitation.
You may all think I'm not very nice, but I'm rich, rich people don't need to be nice anymore.

Id buy a nice shiny new yacht since I sold my old one this past summer.My last one was only big enough to land a robbie on.The new one would would be big enough to land my shiny new 230 on skids just aft of the hot tub.Theres no life like it.I would then be able to cruise both coasts and pick up all you guys and gals and then head to Baffin Isl. for the annual Rotor Head fish derby.
What's in the hanger you ask? Well let me tell you.
This all goes to the tune of " If I had a Squillion Dollars"
The first thing that you'll notice is the Gulfstream G5, painted a sleeper grey, fueled for anywhere on the planet. The crew is all female, dressed in Lu Lu Lemon, naughty all of them.
Next is the EC 155, with all the good stuff, ready for a night IFR flight to somewhere cool.
Got to get skiing too, sooooooo the Koala is good to go. I was thinking of the B3 or the 407, but I want to bring more friends. Plus 1000 hp makes it own friends. 😉
If it were only one, the 430 on skids, what the hell. Take off from the last run of skiing, get an IFR clearence Direct YVR for a snack.
Where's the 427 you ask? Well the 430 took it's place, 'cause I got that kind of cash. B)

A squillion dollars You say....Why buy anything,You're never going to be satisified with what You have , You get a G5 then the g6 g7 and so on and so on.
You can go any where You want go first class or go to Jets"r" Us and plan any trip You want any time You want without the BS of being an owner.

well when your'e rich and bored you can do circuits in your'e own private 747 like the sultan of Brunei.
I think he has a few helicopters kickin around for some entertainment, a black hawk comes to mind.
But if you are filthy stinkin rich why not practice your long line skills on a bell 609 tilt rotor I dont think that they have a hook but nothing that a couple of your'e buddies and a case beer and some tools couldnt fix

Theres no such thing as a squillion dollars. But if I had a nukillion dollars I would buy CTD a new liver. 🙄 Then I would get one for myself 🙄 Ah hell new livers all around.
True, but then you're not tied to some airlines schedule, or surly staff. As far as the burden of ownership, that's what staff are for. Besides, with your own a/c you don't have to deal with the riff raff that travel on airlines.
With that much money, I'd think I'd get me one of them giant Antonovs, put the G5, AB139, and turbo Beaver on floats inside.
Then I'm ready for any eventuality.If it's only toys we're allowed to have then I think a stripped down AH-1 to take me somewhere hot. Enough space for a good friend, cases/keg of beer, case or two of great Scotch, and a snack for the trip. With a squillion dollars, I can afford to not need to take luggage. Just stock the lodge with clothes, or the staff can take care of it. Did I mention that I'd have a place in the Gold Coast hinterland, with a view of the Pacific, a hangar for the 139 and Ah-1, a 4 bedroom guest lodge, salt water pool, the biggest darn fish tank you've ever seen, a selection of the finest beverages that the land of the Scots produces, variety of the best barley pops, oh and hot tub ?? Oh and a paddock with a couple of horses, and so's I don't forget 407D, CTD, and Ned, in case they stop by, a couple of sheep too. 😉 😛 😀
Cheers
