What are your favorite historically significant aircraft that (to the best of your knowledge) aren't available for addon to Flight Simulator, or simply have not been well represented in available versions?  To make the topic useful, if anyone sees a mention on the list that is available please direct us to it.

Based on my previous post, my #1 has to be:

Voyager, Burt Rutan's genius creation that was the first airplane to fly round-the-world without refueling.

#2:  SR71, record holder for speed and altitude records for non-rocket powered aircraft is available as freeware and is beautiful, but the flight model could use a bit of work.

We have an SR-71a available here in military downloads.
I feel that the Miles planes have been sadly neglected...

A nice updated version of the X-1 would be nice, and is certainly historically significant.

Funny you should mention that, I've been working on that as my pet projects for the past few months.  They include (in order of date actually made):

Santos-Dumont Demoiselle
Hughes H-1 Racer
Hindenburg
Dyke Delta

And several others that I can't even remember right now.

It has always irked me that these aircraft aren't available in FS, as most of them are pivotal aircraft in history.
