I think the best airplane is Boeing 777 because it's fast and economical, it can loads about 300 passenger
The Boeing 747 also is a good airplane but it's less economical than the 777

My fave plane is the Boing 737 ( in FS) Coz she has a good fly feeling and its perfect for flights in Germany and Europe.

But my fave real plane isnt in the FS 2002  /2004. Its the Airbus 330. Its a very economical Jet and its a big one too. It can takes 335 passengers and their bagage.

I love this plane :o

It's not on any FS but the Beechcraft Sundowner is pretty cool. It's just like a 172.

Way to slow for me, what does that cruise at 95 knots. :o

The Boeing 727

It's been flying since the 1960's and still flying strong today.  Not fuel efficient like the newer 777.  Can't carry as many passengers or fly as far as the 747.  But everytime I've flown on one of these planes, it seemed to have allot of power and agility in the air.  I felt safer on this plane than on any other.   :o
