If it doesn't hover.....it sucks and blows.

My favorite would have to be the P-40 series.  It wasn't the best performer but it was rugged.  I've always routed for the underdog.  Plus I like the way it looks.

The question is interesting, but it's like asking "Who is the world's most beautiful woman?"  Answer: It depends.  Too many variables to give one definitive answer.

If we are talking favorite in the "looks" catagory,  I would take the P-38 for the military and DC-8-62 for civilian and DC-3 as a crossover.

p.s. reading the results under this question, I realized that as a newbie I'm an American minority here...  ;D

My dream plane is the North American P-51D, closely followed by other WW2 aircraft, my more realistic dream plane is a Lancair IV

The CF-100 is my favourite older aircraft; big, heavy and ugly; but there's just something about an aircraft that smiles at you as it's coming up from behind. (If you don't know what I mean; it's 8 belly-guns formed an evil grin with the engine nacelles as eyes when viewed from ahead.)
Favourite warbird: Spitfire Mk.IX
Favourite plane to fly: Beech Queen Air, stripped for skydiving duty. Lovely to fly; nice, confident feel.
Favourite civ. plane I haven't flown: Piper Malibu. LOVE the looks of that machine.

To be honest, I love Rockwell for the B-1's, as they would be the ultimate flying job.

First of all let me say I never flew an aeroplane I never liked.
They are like women and beer, some just better than others.
With 30 types or so in the Scandal (Log) Book like the DC6, DC4, DC3(C47, Dak), Canso (PBY, Catalina) Saunders (Hope I spelt that right), Cessna 421, 337, 185 (wheel/skis and floats), 172, 150, Beech 18 (Expediter), DHC-1 (Chipmunk) and of course the DHC-3 Otter (Amphibious Floats, Wheel/Skis) I will have to say the old PW R 1340 9cylinder DHC-3 Otter is tops.
