Love most of 'em but the standout stunner for me is still the DC 3. An aeroplane you can do almost anything with, except go fast.
Hate anything with those stupid heel operated brakes - Austers, Cubs etc. If converted to toe operation, they would probably be tolerable. Also hate bland aeroplanes like Cherokees, Tripacers (silly spring interconnected controls) and nosewheel Cessnas. Yet the same ones in tailwheel configuration (e.g. C140/170/180) are enough of a challenge to be likeable.
Lukewarm about most jets, but did like the 737-200 because it was not too automated, killed mosquitoes with all the excess kerosene coming out the tailpipes, and made enough noise to p!iss off tosspots who keep horses near airports.
