Schempp-Hirth Ventus b, with wingtips: Yes, wants to be 'flown' all the time, but isn't that why we go gliding? Fantastic on the straight runs, too!
Cessna 404 Titan. You're perched high up with a great view, taxiing out with your side-window hinged up, listening to that lovely rumble. Lands anywhere. Loads of range, lots of lifting-capability. Only Cessna twin with genuine engine-out capabilities.
Somebody mentioned the venerable Kingair 200. Say no more.
Learjet 31a. Does everything it says on the tin, and more. Delightful handling, lots of power (not silly, like the 60, but more than plenty).
The day-job, oh well... good performance, I suppose.

Anybody willing to let me have a go in their Aero 145? Please, please?
