It's no secret that I have flown many types of aircraft-330 at last count-explaining why I occasionally am asked, "Which is your favorite?" My temptation is to say, "Whatever I am flying at the time." Paraphrasing Will Rogers, I have never flown an airplane I didn't like (although there are some that I enjoy less than others). This might seem like a flip response but it is generally true. It is not because I consider an airplane to be anthropomorphic and am concerned that, if insulted, it might challenge me more than it would otherwise. It is because the joy of flying is derived not so much from the type of aircraft we fly, but rather from what we do and experience with it.
