Faves: C-206: aviation's Toyota Hi-lux
C-210L with Robertson Stol: Flew one for 1000 hours over 2 years. Absolutely reliable. 155ktas. My first retractible. Snagged at least a couple of dozen lady pax's..
Pa23-250 Aztec: aviation's Toyota Land Cruiser. Hauls a 700kg load on short strips. Money maker.
Dc-9-30. My first Jet. Manual everything. In 2500 hours of flying the dc-9, i've been stranded only once..a flat tire when the anti-skid failed.
A319/320: Put me in tears during training, but immensely satisfying when mastered.
Didn't like too much: BN Islander. Cramped (i'm 6'0), noisy and slooow. come to think of it , my subaru wrx is faster.
