Some say that if you buy a home that is close to an airport, you buy the airport too. Personally, I would love to live near an airport...the bigger the better

I spose my favourite current planes would be the staples like B737 & A320 series, the B747, the MD11 and maybe the A330 at a push. Overall favourite I guess would be the MD11 - not flown on one yet, but hoping to do so before KLM retire them - I just love the clunkiness & chunkiness of them, they look so ungainly but they are also enigmatic too (and they had an absolutely rotten start in life as the DC10 with a maligned reputation that they really did not deserve...and anyone who has read the report into FedEx 705 would have to agree that they are one amazing aircraft).
