And there's even an update to Snoopy's ride:

It contains a Quadcopter drone, and Snoopy is even animated - turning the head whereever the hut is directed to.

Here it is in action, at recent ComicCon:

Me too. Could be a Red alternative to the Fairey Rotodyne?

Not really, that iteration of the VM-6 was a straightforward compound helicopter rather than a tipjet-drive gyrodyne.
The wings were to be detachable. By the time they got around to building the V-6 (Mi 6 prototype), they had
abandoned the compound notion and opted for fixed wings mounted higher up the fuselage for rotor unloading
at higher speeds.

Looks like an old-school Packet with a rotor

Now there is a idea for a Rotodyne contender, Fairchild Packet without outer wing panels or shortened outer wings, Dart's or similar to replace the radials and a tip jet rotor with pylon on top.

OMG!

But I'd like to see that!

Friend of mine had the weir idea to convert a CH-53 into a transport aircraft, like a DHC Buffalo...

That's cool.

Makes we wonder how a simpler version - just the normal OV-10 with a Cobra cockpit grafted onto the center fuselage - would look like? Hmmmm...
