Beech Staggerwing is my dream
A buddy of mine wants a PBY Catalina so he can bop around the Caribbean with a dozen of his closest friends but not need a runway

A-10 Warthog.
Trust me, those final Xen levels were ass.
You missed a jumping puzzle, wandering through the bowels of an alien factory of bland and uninspired design, playing whack the pinata with a giant spider's unitesticle and aiming rockets into the head of a giant uberfetus while trying to avoid being teleported away to one tedious battle after another, only to be rewarded with a brief chat by the gman who makes an offer of recruitment - no cool ending cutscene - nada.
To the person at Valve responsible for this abortion of an ending to an otherwise utterly brilliant FPS Googling for this and happening upon my post here, I'd like to say: "I hope you end up at a new job deep frying chicken you fucking idiot." - Anonymous user on the final levels of Half-Life single player.

You just might like..
[link|http://aeroweb.lucia.it/~agretch/RAFAQ/MiG-29pilot.html| Fulcrum] by Alexander Zuyev. A few in-cockpit vignettes as the author describes his defection from Voenno-vozdusnye Sily (Russian Air Force) to Turkey. (Fulcrum is what the Russ called the MIG-29)
Pretty exciting stuff, esp. his trip down the runway at night.. trailing the plugged-in starting generator, til attrition finally yanked it loose!
Yeah - bits of Walter Mitty in us all,

Nit: "Fulcrum" etc are *NATO* code-names for Soviet aircraft
