I don't think I'd want any of them, but I'll settle for the B-18 doing ASW duty on Key West or in the Canal Zone! 8)

I can picture you, Joe, flying a B-18 wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shades. 8)

Yep, that too!
And the beer (although I would not recommend drunk flying) but it goes with the image...

I was more thinking one of those drinks with a little umbrella in it, and a cigar.

Definitely a cigar - a Monte Cristo picked up while "RON" at Havana!

Being in the ventral turret of a Ju-86 would be "fun" though

Put me in the B-18. I don't know much about it but the DC-3 seemed to be able to take a beating. Was it based on a DC-3 or was it the DC-2?

DC-2 from what I understand...

My second choice would be the Ju-86. Mostly because they have the Junkers name on them. Well anything would be better than the Whitley. That was mean of me to say about the Whitley. It was a good costal command plane.
