My favorite fighter jet is the F-16, but in FG I love using the F-15C/D by Richard, OPRF mod:

Forever for the Mirage 2000-5.

P. S. F16 is also extremely impressive. But just the ground radar is inactive

It works just fine. You probably just need to read up on how to use it: https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/f16/wiki/Radar-GM-Mode

No pix right now, but the J3 Cub is always fun to fly. I've been using the Cessna 140 a lot recently, and look forward to seeing the interior finished. I used to use the Piper Warrior II for IFR practice (far more fun than the Cessna 172, but then I'm prejudiced because I owned a Warrior II for 20 years). And the DC-3 is, of course, a classic to fly.

My favorite: The Space Shuttle, for the same reasons as Thorsten.

Then, the Mustang P51-D, for the bloody torque, the feelings and the stunts:

I love the F-14b, also for the feelings flying it, and because it is definitely the nicest of all ;)

The mirage-2000 is also one of my favourite, because I can engage Lt. Endo and it can take very sharp turns:

But I am far to have tested all of them, and I love helis too because they're hard to fly!! :)

cheers,
Chris.

AirCrane for helo because it is so iconic as a work helicopter and is really easy to fly. Must have the Wildfire and Cargo Hauling addons though to give you the extended capabilities, including a Bambi Bucket. This applies to any helicopter in FG and there are many good ones.

Any of the military jets mentioned here plus the Mission Generator addon for intercept missions, make it a blast to chase down a bogie for identification. I like to use the "Encroachment" mode over long periods of time to wait for an AI or MP aircraft to come in range of the airport I am sitting at and trigger an alert. Then I go chase it down and make sure it is not a threat.

And of course the J3 and c172p for the ability to land anywhere, water, snow, dirt or pavement. Or if your into an alpine fish stocking mission the J3 can help you with that. You can even put out a small campfire that got out of hand with either of them plus the Wildfire addon.

Notice my emphasis on addons, they extend the experience on so many of these aircraft.

Whether your looking for ATC, landing practice or missions to fly.

Don't know, it's been out there awhile. :)
I have so many ideas to expand it.
I need to document what is already there in the wiki, just another thing to do. Hopefully it's intuitive enough as is. There is also some info in a forum post.

@eatdirt see Mission Generator for continuing efforts, including a current bug fix.
