I was wondering what people's favorite aircraft are. For me it's the B-17G Block 40, followed by the F4U-4.

I'm kinda partial to the A-10 and SR-71.

The commercial airliners are merely buses with wings. Nothing really draws my interest.

I too have always been a big fan of SR-71 for military. 

For GA Olde school, put me down for the Stearman.

And if I was going to buy an aircraft today for my personal use assuming a fairly limited budget.  It would hands down be a Malibu.

Anything that stays in the air until the pilot intends to put it on the ground. And any plane I don't have to jump out of.

That said, the Mustang (D model and later), B-1, F-16, C-130, any UPS or FedEx plane that I have a package aboard and any airliner that takes me where I want to go or brings my loved ones to me.

How's those last two for selfish?  ;D
