the topic explains it all.. mine has got to be the Cessna 152, 172, etc.. they are way to slow, at 150 something knots max, i would not live traveling that slow, and the service ceiling is pretty low.. basically i hate slow flying aircraft, but i gotta live through it when i go to flight training.

I really hate the shorts 360 which I have to fly way too often

And 150 kts cruising in a 172 or 152, I'd be happy to do that. My favorite single engine plane I fly is the Cessna U206G. Love the plane

I don't have one, really every plane design has had its goods and bads, but I don't see why some are worse than others. I have favorites, but no least favorites in the aviation world..

quite a bit larger than most 737 models though, and it was quiet compared to the other aircraft in its day.

if you're going to compare aircraft, at least compare them with other planes in their time period :lol:

Ya, in my opinion A330s are awesome! My least favourite are the 737 series. However I pretty much love all of Boeing's other aircraft.

I cannot stand all the yak's and tupolevs aswell. But my aircraft that i detest of all time is the A380!

It's just too big and unpractical.
