What Is The Coolest Airplane You Have Flown?

1941 Vultee BT-15 "Vibrator" (yes, it's an airplane )

Airplane Envy
Hasn't everyone experienced it? You are in a C182, and keep looking over at the Mooney that is parked on the ramp. You get a Mooney and then every twin you pass catches your eye. Soon you are zinging around in a Seneca and find you can't stop staring at the King Air. The King Air, while the time you spent together was nice, seems doggy and now a Citation seems to call. Ah but everytime you are taxiing your CJ onto the exec ramp, you almost run over the marshallers because you are staring at the Lears parked across the way.
I don't think it ever ends.
I will let others point out the corollaries to other aspects of a male pilot's sad life as well.

...and then you reach full circle. As you taxi out in your airliner, you look down at the guy in the Citabria with envy, knowing that he can go where he wants- when he wants, and doesn't have to worry about getting freaking Junior Manned as he runs to catch his flight home!

I just ran into someone in a coffeeshop in Santa Fe, that owns and flies his own L-39, and is on his way to Reno to fly as the pace airplane.

I hauled a whole lot of boxs in a be18 for many years. Flying Harley. For some sick reason, I miss it the most. Would not want to make my living in it now, but it was pretty cool. Especially the cold starts, where you could almost hear the jugs come online one by one.

Backseat ride in a RDAF F-16 out of Bagram. 500 kts at camel height is quite an experience; having the jockey showing off less so (filled 2 barf bags to the limit!)

C-54E, that had a real warbird history. This specific plane was Nimitz' personal transport around the Pacific theatre.

Cool. For me it would probably be an OnMark converted Douglas B-26.
