Airliner: B727
Biz: G-550, that wing is sexy
Old mil: P-51, love that merlin sound
New mil: F-22, performance beyond reproach
Potentially affordable: C-185, on floats with an 88" 3 blade McCauley prop

Corporate-wise, I'm a Falcon guy. The '10 and '50 are nice looking.
Old school...? How about the Horten 229, Bugatti 100, or P-80. I like the organic look of some of those old planes. When engineers still tried to make 'em a bit stylish for no other reason than they wanted to.

Agh theres a Flex CL30 sitting out in front of my window right now. What I'd give to trade jobs with one of those pilots.
