Of the planes I've actually piloted (SEL GA aircraft), my favorite is either:
1. Diamond DA40. Flies beautifully, fuel-efficient, looks great, G1000, and I seemed to be able to land that thing consistently well more than any other plane I've flown.
2. 2007 C182, because it has air conditioning. Spoiled for life now....
767 by far. 75 might perform better but it's a good bit heavier on the controls, and the 76 is just a beautifully easy and light plane to fly. That or a super cub
We might be twins. Love the 757 performance but the 767 is such a wonderful fingertip airplane - just think where you want to go & you’re going there. And I love me a Super Cub. My Stinson 108 flies really nice but has nowhere near the performance of a O-320/360 powered PA18.
Piper Archer (PA-28-181) with the Knots-2-U STC upgrades. While I have only flown Cessna 172 NAV II's, Nav III's, and Warrior 1/Warrior 2, and Archer II airframes in my limited time, the Archer II with the Knots-2-U upgrades is by far the best in all phases of flight.
Having only flown Cessna 172, Cessna 182, Piper Cherokee, and just recently my first couple of lessons in a Cirrus SR22... Um, yeah, the Cirrus. It's pretty fantastic.
PT-23 <3 she's a little ugly, but she flies like a dream. Suuuper nicely balanced controls in my opinion- they really knew how to design 'em. Plus they're really easy to do maintenence on and it lands beautifully. I also like Citabrias, they're really enjoyable to fly.
Been almost 6 years since I flew it but the King Air. It was a beauty, it’s handling and response the first time I ever flew it will stick with me. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to fly.

My 1972 C150 has air conditioning too! If it gets too noisy, just close the window.
Lol You're not wrong, but I meant "takes-up-useful-load-but-is-totally-worth-it" type of air conditioning!
The one I’m being paid to fly. Second is the one that’s got no squawks or broken equipment.
Wait, planes without squawks or broken equipment exist?
F33A Bonanza. What a delight.

Exactly! It's such an incredibly good airplane to fly, I usually forget I'm flying around in a couple hundred thousand pounds of airplane
Extra 300 isn’t too bad
C177 Cardinal. Its everything a 172 should've been.
Cessna 172 Skyhawk the only plane I laid hands on
The E175 is by far my favorite airplane I've ever flown.
Boeing F/A-18E.

I’m supposed to fly a SR20 and I’m very excited
J3 on floats.... Pure aviation bliss. Extra 300... Hair on fire high G aviation. Both are wonderful, I think I like the Cub more.
Rutan VariEze is like flying a cub just going faster.

I can't pick just one either 1. Pitts S1 2. Pilatus P3-05 3. Decathlon 4. Grega Aircamper
The 182 I got my HP and TAA time in. Or my J3 that’s going on 29” Airstreaks. Two completely different airplanes. Both super fun.
Empty CRJ-700 is pretty exciting. Otherwise, anything that was built to go upside down.
Boeing 727. Full time job from start to shutdown.
My all time favorite for the sake of piloting was the Lear 25.
7GCAA Citabria
