Whats your favorite aircraft?

I have my two favorites the AT-38B and F-15A thru D. Bob

Uh, see signature below...
The B-17 is such a beautiful looking plane... don't really have a favorite fighter... maybe the P-47 for WWII and F-16 for modern stuff...

I like just about any airplane (as defined by FAR 1 - "an engine driven, fixed wing, heavier than air, aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings"). Therefore, my favorite airplane is the one of which I am making a model of (currently its the HS 129, the PT-19 and a JU-87D8).

Don't do helicopters, just don't care for them because:

A. They don't fly, they're so ugly the earth rejects them.

B. There are entirely too many parts going round and round and up and down at the same time, at high speed.

C. When the engine quits, it assumes the glide ratio of a brick.

D. They will fall on you and if you paint them OD green, people will shoot at you and they will still fall on you.

What a question!
Like asking who is the most beautiful woman (who of course is my girlfriend ).

But, back to the topic - Some of my favorites (in no particular order):

Sopwith Camel
Beech Staggerwing
P-38 Lightning
Douglas DC-8
JSF X-35
Gulfstream GV
Concorde ..................

WWII: P-51 - the best of the last before the jets. Fun to see these and the Texans at the air races in Reno.

Modern: F-14 Tomcat - still going strong after ...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10... darn ran out of fingers. Facilitates just about any ordinance (within reason - I'm sure that does not include potatoes - too bad... that would have been pretty cool... a potato cannon on an F-14).

Without any hesitation the X-15

Boy thats a hard one,there are so many.The best way I can do it;is by braking it down by country. 1-The jap zero clean fast and maneuverble.[how many of you out there know that the zero was developed by Howard Hughes and turn down by the U.S.A.A.F]
2-The U.S.N.HELLCAT,U.S.A.A.F P-47 THUNDERBOLT[a tank with wings]
3-luffawuffer FW190D[a fast tank with wings]
4-British typhoon
these are just the fighters/attack planes.so hard to choose.
On bombers 1-The B-17 just a beautiful airplane,tought and relieble.

It would have to be the P-38 Lightning. an awesome looking plane and it also packed a nice punch. Oh yea. My second would be a tie between the F-15 Strike Eagle and the A-10 Thunderbolt.

F-14 Tomcats!

SAAB JA-37 Viggen and the F-14 Tomcat. Awesome air-power!

well thats easy,my p-61 black widow

P-47 Thunderbolt with the Pitts S-1S a close second.

The Vought F4U-1D, F4U-4B, F4U-5N Corsair! What a mighty ship!
Of course, flying high beside her would be the rugged Curtiss Jenny.
Ooh, what about the F-22 Raptor?
