Best airplanes ever made?

My personal favorites are the DC3 and the J3 Cub. Aeroncas weren't bad either.

I seem to like tail-draggers.

I have never piloted a DC3, but I have flown in one. That was down from Miami into Key West in the setting sun. They should still make them. There was an airplane.

I have piloted a J3. It was a bitch to taxi, but it was great fun to fly. If I could get one for a reaonable price (which is not possible these days), I would. I sometimes go out to the local airport just to look at the one they have. It's really nice.

An Aeronca would be fine also. Low and slow.

I suppose an F14 or a Warthog would be okay also. Those are a little over my head.
