If money was no object, I'd be a pilot. Straight up. It's what I've always wanted to do.

If, going strictly by the OP of $1m, I'd probably just park the money in property. But I'd absolutely still keep working, it's not even close to being enough.

Funny thing, that's what Bruce Dickinson is doing now. He's a multi-millionaire and money is no object. He now flies commercial planes.

Take tail number 17972 for a spin to see is she's still got it!

Her last flight stats:

6 March 1990
Crew: Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding and Lt. Col. Joseph T. Vida
Speed Over a Recognized Course - Los Angeles to Washington D.C. (1,998 mi)
Time: 1 hour 4 minutes 19.89 seconds
Average Speed: 2,144.83 mph

...bet it would be a real babe-magnet at the local municipal airport, too :thumbleft:

If it was like this.

Option A: Continue working as is ...
Option B: Accept lump sum, not taxed, $1,000,000.00 with condition I can NOT work again in your life.

I'd go with Option A. By the time I'm 50, I'll have earned more than the lump sum and also will have a very strong 401k ready for me when I hit 65. Even if it was 5 million, I probably wouldn't go with it. I don't think I could live without working. Can you imagine putting up with me 24/7? Me neither, work gives me a break from ... me.

But if there's one plane I'd like to fly in before I die, it's not the Blackbird. It's this one. It was the one my dad worked on in WWII.

Though I have no desire to do the Doolittle thing with it. 🙂 I just want to take a ride.

You'll have to skip one or two of those epicurian excursions to take this one. $400.

If you rattle around that site, I was in a B-25 that was giving rides at this show that served in both N Africa and Europe. I didn't ride in it, but I remember the plane. I think I was there in 2007.

My bet is that it tours the country, and it is also "properly" painted for the European theater.
