At this time of year, Canada's winter Hornets are one of my faves.

1918 to 1939..

All of the french.

Now now... stop laughing , hear me out.
Mostly they are not that good looking. But they all had something in inovation. For so very few money. And remember the French after the war flew anything. Ex-raf ex usaaf ex-soviet ex japonese.
So they have a strong stomage.
And remember.
If you are sitting in it you cant see the ugly mother.

I'm pretty stuck in World War II on this one, specifically late war/early post war, but I'd have to say DH Hornet, Mosquito, Griffon Spitfires/late Merlin Spitfires, P-51D, XP-51F/G, P-51H, F-82, Typhoon and Tempest (despite their flaws)

Any Spitfire or Seafire with Malcolm & Co's "blown canopy". The bubble canopy Spits never looked as good, IMO.

Lockheed Constellation
Fokker G-1 (of course)
Piper Cub

That may be nice but the french F.221 would make a better leisure plane if you opened up the bottom portion and turn it into a bachelor pad.

Fine single malt whiskey and G&Ts in the rear observation area work quite fine:

Besides, think of the greater usability/accessibility of a PBY Catalina over the Farman

IDK. I'd stay off Aeromexico.

Aeromexico passenger opens plane door and walks on wing

Passengers say they had been kept on the tarmac for four hours without air conditioning or water.

Spoilsports... he was getting a good shot on the other Boeing leaving.
Mind you.... it did not do much good betting the pilot he could get first to the end of the tarmac on his mobility scooter. Race yah fir it.... my word!!
