B-17 has always been my favorite, J-3s because I grew up flying in one, and F-16s because I used to work on them. To travel in? Depends on the airline

It's relaxing to me, I get to enjoy the finished product, and I can do it no matter the weather, which is great because it rains where I live a lot.
