Ever since I drew Sunset in an aviation themed pinup
Ready to fly by Baron-Engel
I’ve had this idea of Sunset being a pilot. I’ve gotten all kinds of suggestions of what kind of plane bacon hair might fly.
Because of the original pinup/nose art nature of the first drawing I was inclined to have her own some kind of surplus military aircraft. Some suggestions have been made and some have been very cool but completely impractical. Especially if one assumes Sunset has limited financial means. Also I wanted an aircraft that wasn’t so large that it overwhelmed the mare when she’s posed with it.
One idea was the North American T-28B Trojan, but feeding that Wright R-1820 radial wouldn’t be cheap.Link youtube Icon Then I remember the non-turboprop powered Beechcraft T-34 Mentor which is derived from the Beechcraft Bonanza. The aircraft is capable of performing acrobatic flight youtube Icon but is relatively easy to afford. Also I’ve always been fond of the Beechcraft Bonanza.

id rather have a light armored recon vehicle from ww2 for 5000 USD
RMS-116H Hobby Hi-Zack less armor then its military ancestor and no guns on it. The suit was loved by all that piloted it. She had all the speed of the combat modal so with less armor she could move like wind on ice with a good pilot. I could see sunset painting one to her taste and siting happy on its up tern palm in skin tight flight/space suit looking out over the inside of the colony. or her and dash having races in them…great now I got another story to add to mlp gundam crossovers list under my name…..once I finish what I started…
definitely the hobby hizack
