... Looking forward to viewing your Sione aircraft choices :) :)  Agree that an all-terrain is hard, but does exist in many models - hence our amphibian selection suited to us, only that the model isn't necessarily what we choose to fly, but is characteristically us.  

If we were to be a helicopter, it would have to be an-> 

Apache Gunship in the combat category.  If we were to be civilian helicopters, it would have to be the EC145

Delighted you get it now, for our combat chopper - we like the idea of being totally combat-capable, combat-ready and combat-maneuverable.  It can land on tarmac to a makeshift air field, on a rooftop or on a rough terrain - in a war zone.  Comparatively, our civilian chopper choice, is for the ultimate functionality.  Comfort.  Space. Speed.  Smooth transit.  In this regard, we can choose the most expensive helicopter, bearing in mind that helicopters period - are expensive to fly, so why not the best of both functions.

"Only Kaline can find Kaline Planes.  Only Kaline ....""Only Kaline can find Kaline Planes.  Only Kaline ....""Only Kaline can find Kaline Planes.  Only Kaline ...."

So true. So much I dont know about and so much I have not seen. You are right. There is no comparison and I must now find the Red Tails movie to get a better understanding.

What a brief to work on - Functional, practical, private, all terrain, non-crap scaring, fighter plane - a helicopter perhaps? I must resist the temptation because - "Only Kaline can find Kaline planes" x3.

 Yes a Sione plane. Well its back to the drawing board.

Ofa'atu.

Ummm ... Nah!!!!!! For one, had we been a combat plane - a modern one, we would be a smooth ride lol.  Naturally, given our personalities, we wouldn't be a retired military vessel where a half-hearted weak stomach civilian pays to ride.  Cava 'qo - de theme park?  So NOT us!!! Hahaha.  Not a ride for every Tom's Dick is Hairy!!!!! Ya!!!! LOL  We would be a fighter plane with a pilot's name painted on the side - his plane :P :P ... Oh wait there are 2 of us - Their planes :P :P  ... Plus the wingmen :):) (Don't think their names get written down though).  

Note that we did choose to highlight the Tuskegee Red Tails, meaning that when these planes were out of commission, they either went to Museums or to Private Collectors.  We are very much like the Private Collectors, in that we believe it is a waste of finely crafted battle-worn vehicles, air, sea or land, to be decommissioned as museum display pieces or rented out for joy-rides by unappreciative losers, but rather nurtured and flown as it deserves to be, periods after its active days.  [Sigh]

So, again - another suggestion by you Sione - that is so NOT our personality type.  So - NOT practical and private.  Your choice clashes with our natural function.  If we were a fighter plane, it would be used at war.  It would not be a joy-ride plane or a display aerobatics plane.  A plane requiring companies to put up some monies so that a lofty minded pilot whose in to the show can win a medal or accolades. There's no function there.  There's no practicality there.  And there's no job there.  

 

Soooo NOT us.  We would be a practical, all-terrains fighter plane.  We would be a function-appropriate fighter plane and we would be a practical fighter plane for the user!!!  We help the user, not scare the crap out of the user lol  We would be the fighter plane where seamless executions can be made by the pilots and the functionality of the machine to release or have automated command capabilities, at a touch of a button - be it at the pilot's command or command center command, where there is little to no human casualty on the ground, after impact.  Note - that is - innocent civilian casualty :) :)

 

It would've been better had you put up a drone, but you see - you obviously wouldn't because you'd invested a lot of time in trying to identify what you think is an us - plane, rather than finding a you plane.  A Sione plane :) :)

 

Repeat after us - "Only Kaline can find Kaline Planes.  Only Kaline ...."  [Repeat 3 times] Aummmmmmmm! [Ting]  Aummmmmm[Ting] Hahahaha!!!!

Tuskegee vs SK - NO match!!  They were fighter pilots; They were fielded from a high IQ level-base; They flew for National Pride and honour for their country;  They flew rickety planes and had way too many successful missions for the comfiture of the racists of the time and our time;  They were practical; They had camaraderie; They were oblivious to the discrimination;  They were oblivious to flack; They flew with faith;  They were entertained by "the difference;"  They were obviously high on their abilities;  They were about execution and NOT notoriety, hence our choice - the relativism between them and us.  Different spatial times - Much of the same humdrum, where your success tells your story;  Your survival is your evidence and how far you thrive is your legacy!!!!  But how can you know that Sione - you're not us - you didn't live our lives.  You didn't step on the footprints of our paths.  Hard Knocks!!!!!

She - Svetlana, although an excellent aerobatics pilot given it's pretty rare for a woman to execute several HC8 plus dead drops repetitively, in a field of majority men.  Given her skill-set, she is still not in the same cadre as the Tuskegee Airmen.  We would wager she would not be so calm in a challenged rickety aircraft with oncoming bogees, where she has to wager her life for someone else's, where her life is less important.  She's a thrill airshow pilot and NOT a combat practical pilot, where the planes determine the limits.  She wouldn't be able to do some of the maneuvers with half of the armoury the Tuskegee carried on their planes + fuel ...

Factoring in the purpose of your group, "Plane = Who you are," if you were to choose, one has to have an air of showiness and skill and the spirit of competition to fly the Svetlana Fly and choose the Svetlana Planes.  Svetlana vs the Tuskegee Ace Flyers - No match!  They win!  A casual rider can not be compared to a man or woman behind the wheel in Afghanistan or Iraq. Combat is not competition and combat is not civilian.  World's apart.  We are part of a country where we proudly declare Top Gun female fighter pilots, who land on aircraft carriers in the dead of night, whilst the carriers are moving - that takes greater skill :) :)  If they crash - they stand and fight - Amazing!!  You can't help but be humbled by them.  Note - we don't choose that, knowing and accepting that we aren't that brave - and that's perfectly alright.  We are civilians.  

Showiness + Competition -> Are not in the same field as the Tuskegee Aircrafts or the Airmen who'd flown them.

BOT Tuskegee = Practicality and getting the job done, still our shared personality type.  Very much still the us in a plane, no matter any of the 3 aircrafts designated to the Tuskegee.  It's about making the best of the weakest tools you get, outperforming the possible best that craft can give you.  That's us - in a nutshell.  NOT grand.  NOT showy.  Then again, if you really wanted a grand plane, any plane can be refitted to grandness :) :)

Kaline - WOW! I must watch the movie - Red Tails. Just fantastic. So much I dont know about and so much I have not seen - yet. Inspires me to find something much more grander for you than a seaplane. Ofa'atu.

Roi, just for your Savusavu weekends I uploaded the type of aircraft that will get you there and back with time to spare. After all the yagona I also uploaded the type of landing you might have BUT still look the professional.

Kaline, I am still looking for something special for you.

Ofa'atu.
