NoPolitics: Airplanes you like that no one else does

737-400 combi, not a sexy plane, but a workhorse that I flew on a bunch as a kid. Also the Metroliners, but mostly because when I was young Penair had snack trays under some of the seats that had knock off Oreos, Grandma’s cookies, and those snacks that had the fake cheese sandwiched between two crackers.
 
I don't think any of the ones I like the most are like universally hated, but they always seem to be uh let's say a bit "looked at sideways".

Luscombe
Aerostar
MU-2 (obviously)
F-104
B-58
MD-11

You get the idea. If some old dude at an FBO back in the mists of time told you that it was a death-trap, I want to fly it.
Citabria 7ECA->-8KCAB
AN-2
C-185
CJ 2+/3+/4
L101/L10
AT-802 & AT-602
Volkswagen Bug (1970's era)

C337 or the B350. Others may like them, but I like them more.

The B350 rocked in northern Iraq.

I'll also add the FB111 and KC35 as that's what I worked on with my jet engine license.
 
I like the Cirrus SR20/22. Did my CFII in an SR20. Comfortable, fast, and lots of toys. Literally the only GA airplane I’ve flown where I didn’t feel like I was getting intimate with the person next to me.
Ah, hell, brother. If you're not intimate with your significant other in the cockpit, you're not doing it right. ;)
