Oh yeah, and my favorite warbird is the P-40E Warhawk... Man, I love that plane!  I'm building a 1/7 scale RC of one.

Well I can really admit I never flew an aircraft I never liked or felt uncomfortable in.  I guess my favorites would be:
(1) DHC-3 "Otter" R1340 radial engine
     on amphibious floats or wheel/skis
     Probably the best bush aircraft ever built and now
     re-engined with a turbine
(2)  DHC-1 "Chipmunk"
      Great trainer and aerobatic aircraft
(3)  Tiger Moth
      Great bi-plane and of course in my books there are
       no bad bi-planes
(4)  Canso
      You got paid more to fly it than the DC3
      Both were a lot of work to load and unload
(5)  T33 "T Bird"
      Good trainer and a lot of fun to fly

Off the top of my head that is what I would consider the top 5 for me I THINK :), but maybe that is because I can't afford to own anything more than a C172 unless I trade in the wife ;DLOL
Now that is a thought...OUCH :o
Didn't know she was in the room.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

For Fozzer....aka...Captain Sensible....
...it has to be a second-hand Cessna 152.

A practical aeroplane, reasonably cheap to run and maintain.
...and pretty reliable... 8)...!
No strange quirks to catch out the un-wary...!

A useful 2-seater for a spot of leisurely touring... ;D...!

An excellent step-up from a Microlight....costing around the same... ;)...!
