My favorite would be the Howard 500.

Big, powerful, fast, beautiful, classic, long endurance, and my grandfather once ordained a wedding in one while in flight.

Not a bad choice.

We've had a nice one floating around the UK for a few weeks now post overhaul.

The Hawker Sea Fury really looks the part.

DHC-2, one of the best examples of a successfully mission-designed and built aircraft in the history of aviation.

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

AgustaBellBA609BaronBeaverF4UCorsairF-14SuperOtter. Sorry, don't have one favorite above all others. But if I could only have one, I guess it would be the ~~Beaver~~ Carenado C185F amphibian.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Really?
I was under the impression that there was only 1 flying Howard 500 left (the one that Milton Shupe did).

Yep.

This one makes it two. I don't think it's flown for a few years until now.

For my FS2004 it's my Electra L188. It's a beauty to fly, sounds great too (still working on it's paint though).

All time favorite aircraft is the F-15. Easy to work on, most powerful fighter jet ever.
