You can only pick one and tell why it is your favorite.
Mine is the C5 Galaxy. Nothing like having an amazing transport and awesome power.

UH1H (V) Huey. I crewed one for 13 years in the National Guard. It's really a living legacy of aviation.

FPNI!!!!!! the mofo Tomcat!!!
but I also think the F-16 is sexy.  3rd choice was a toss up between the F-4 phantom and the F-22 Raptor  the Japanese loved the Phantom, they always had cool paint schemes throughout the years, these are final flight paint jobs

I could never just pick one.
I was watching a video about the P38. On long range missions in the Pacific the planes were returning with empty fuel tanks. A couple pilots crashed trying to land when the engines stopped. Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to cross the Atlantic, was sent as an advisor. He came up with an idea to correct the fuel usage and went on a mission when the pilots didn't believe him. The aircraft began returning with fuel to spare. With the tail connecting the twin booms, a pilot couldn't just bail out without getting cut in two. The had to wing walk past the engines before jumping. |

MiG-21MF "Fishbed-J." One of my Dad's cousins flew them in the Hungarian Air Force in the 70s. Uncle Ferenc is a tough old bastard, and I'm sure that if shit had gone hot, he probably would've made it out with a few kills painted on his bird.

But my wife's grandpa did the wing walk thing after ditching when running out of fuel... |
