    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.

      That sounds so cool. I’ve been jealous of Larry and Sergey (Google founders) ever since I read that they converted a 747 into a townhouse like 20 years ago. I know that’s a super unpopular thing on this platform, but man, it would be such a dream to see the whole world, and be completely comfortable for all of the flights. You could offset the carbon footprint a little by bringing along all of your friends and family.
