I have actually flown just one airplane, and that is a Cessna 150 Taildragger. Very cool airplane, despite being hard to get in and out of .
Here is a picture of the exact airplane:

Anything with wings on it flys great! Some just fly better than other is all.

very true, pilots have the ability so reply when somebody sayes "look at my awesome 57 corvette" and you say, "look at my 747" but still every plane is better than sitting on concrete so what do you like and why?

most fun 2 fly = LEARJET 60. (out of cessna 150/170/172, piper commanche/aztec, beech sundowner, DC-3, vickers viscount, B727,707,737. DC-9-30/50, MD-82/83, Airbus A320/321.) the A320 was great "real aviators fly planes with sticks" --oh oh INCOMING:eek----remember if its Boeing it ain`t going

I am limited to a variety of prop aircraft (Cessna 152,172,177,182,210, Piper warrior, archer, arrow, seminole, Diamond Katana, Beech Duchess, Citabria).

My favorite is the DA-20 Katana.

Of military and commercial jets (of which I have not flown yet), my favorites are the F-15 Eagle, XB-70 Valkyre, Boeing 757, and Gulfstream G5.

One's flown: C-152, C-172 & Warrior.

The one I'm hoping to fly: A-300; Love the purple & orange look. I think I would look good in brown, too.

The ones I'll probaby end up flying: CRJ-900 or EMB-195.
