if i had to pick only one...with all considerations; operating costs, fuel, maintenance, reliability, and overall design...the A-10. (i would also have her modified to sling some cargo under her wings.)

otherwise, i'd pick a C-130J

My favorites: Boeing 747-400, All 727s

Probably the best is the 737 series or DC-3.
I've got nothing.

I always liked the aerodynamic properties of an SLR camera in flight when launched by the colaborative efforts of a kangaroo and human being.  I'd have to say, it's the SLR camera that is my favorite aircraft!   ;D

3. su 27 flanker


Commercial jets (passenger jets)

1.Concorde

Old warbirds:

1. spitfire
2. hurricane
3. lancaster
4. Avro Vulcan

Commercial Airliners with 3 engines.
(727;L-1011;MD-11;Tu-154;DC-10;Dassault Falcon;...)
But I think the are a bit outdated, and as a European tax payer one has to like Airbuses!
