What part would you like to take home if airlines felt generous enough to let us help ourselves with retired aircraft.
I would like the the captains seat of a 777 but i may have a long wait ahead of me.
What is yours.?

Does the pilot count?
Why would you want some guy, when you could have any piece of the plane? Unless you want to... ugh, don't want to get into that.

Quoting PipoA380 (Reply 1): Well otherwise, just the pit, and I'll install Flight Sim on if so I can use a real pit. Should be a lot of fun
I have a friend that used to be a 738 capt that makes real size flightdecks of the plane you tell him, with real FMCs and sometimes even real aircraft parts.

a wing (or 2)
A couple a doors..... Basically the whole plane but if I had to pick it would have to be the captains seat ,best seat on the plane!
the captain has now dimmed the lights for take off this is a routine procedure for flights during the hours of darkness!

An engine. Especially one of those JT8Ds or GE-90-115Bs.
However, I did find a gas cap and one of those nuts that are secured by a pin on runway 28R/10L at PIT.

i think i would take the yoke and hook that up to flight simulator and then i would really be rolling but otherwise i would take front landing gear and have a courtyard so when everyone walks in they see a 747 front landing gear.
Cheers,

Ever since I have been interested in aviation, I wanted one thing.
A Q400 aileron!
Every birthday, Christmas, even Easter, that is wht I asked for.
Last Christmas, my dad asked me what I wanted.
Before I could say anything, he added " And you are not getting that aileron!"
In English class, I had a journal assignment where you
had to write about what item you wanted and how you would get it.
I did this HUGE report on how to get a Q400 aileron.
And as you can expect, no one knew what I was talking about.

For me, it has to the entire upper deck of a 747, including the cockpit section. Some time ago, I was at Kingman airport in Arizona where they scrapped an ex-HP 742 and left the upper deck cabin (minus cockpit & floor) off in a private yard across the service road. From what I could gather then at the time, someone had purchase that section and was planning to use it as a carport. Since it was just a circular shell piece, the section was plenty tall & wide enough to park a mid-size vehicle inside it. I think that was, and still is, a novel idea. So if I had a piece of an airplane, let me have the 747's upper deck. Regards.

39 CXA330300: The tail. I'd then paint it white and have people sign it in different colours. End result would be nice to see.
