5 Airplanes of your choice you would love to fly.
Surprised no-one has mentioned the Sunderland (or the Empire boats). It would definitely be one of my choices.
Others would be the English Electric Lightning, Mosquito, Spitfire and Lancaster.
(how old does that make me?)

I either had plans to, or had a chance to, fly in a Connie, Ambassador, Twin Pioneer and DH Dragon - but never did. So if I could turn the clock back, I'd remedy that. For the fifth - a Catalina (off/on the water of course).

Vickers VC-10, The satisfaction of setting half the car alarms off in long stay carparks at the airports would be great when taking off :P haha
Boeing 757-200, My fav, Love narrow Bodied Airliners, Also the RB211-535E4B's make them hotrods, And they look great in just about any livery and the cockpit avionics are nice.
Airbus A321, Flymonarch Preferably, with the CRT Glass cockpits, and hearing those 2 IAE V2500's spool up from inside the flight deck.
Boeing 737-300/500, BMI Baby, Love those lil critters.
Flybe Embraer 145's, Love the ERJ145 flightdeck, and that lovely HYD noise when the engines are running at idle, Also AE3007 Spools are lovely from inside
Mike.

XB-70, talked to a gentlemen who flew chase on one once, and he was still drooling, thirty years later.
AN-225, just to park next to those cheeky little A380s. OK, and because of the little globe back at the nav station.
A-4 because a test pilot that flew every jet known to mankind said that would be his first choice.
Any four engine seaplane, maybe a Sunderland
PC-6
In reality,
1. B747-200
2. PA 12 with an 0-360 bolted on
3. CV-240
4. Helio Courier
5. Citabria
