Of the course the old skool classic 747s:

That clip still makes my heart skip. I see that and my heart tells me to get back into aviation. Then my logic screams at me and I say no. Man I'm a sell out.
 
Another vote for the fabled DC-8 stretch, although I prefer the 60 series with the old turbofans. Here's another gratuitous picture, just cause.

In the "little airplane" category, undisputed "turning jet-a in to a rictal-grin" champion, the Lear 24. Burns gas like it's going out of style, and is worth less than the cost of RVSM, but who can put a price on climbing 4000fpm all the way up to the stratosphere? It only needs one window because you'll be plastered to your seat anyway.

McDonnell 220 business jet:

Only one in existance sits at KELP.

GOOD FIND! I remember when that plane was for sale back in 1998. I think it was going for around $200K. Jet-A was cheap back then so, I was trying to figure out ways to buy it.:D
