Cessna 152
Here is a picture of a cessna 152. Since I'm still a student pilot this is a good choice. It almost flies itself. I just have to remember: Full power on take off!! When the plane gets about 10 feet off the ground you lose ground effects and the plane wants to drop right back on the runway. Thats something you only do once, trust me.I also learned that when your instructor says "you did real good on that landing" Don't believe it! When I attempted my first landing the instructor said it to me. I saw another instructor on the ground. He said he saw me land. I asked what he thought. He just smile a laughed, a lot! he said from his angle it didn't look too good. If you want to see where I fly out of visit the link below. If you want to see my instructor while you are there click "home" on the left side for the group photo he is the third from the right in the back. The commedian is second from the left.

F4U Corsair
This is my all time favorite airplane. It was flown by the Black Sheep Squadren. It was flown by my favorite Pilot Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, Who my grandfather knew personally. He had a book with a full inscription from Gregory Boyington. If you like the F4U and have the time there is a 20min training video from like the 40's or 50's on how to fly the F4U online at http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com click on the image and choose the F4U video. if you have a slower connection speed I recommend selecting the 28.8 feed It works better for me.
A second picture of the corsair
Here is another picture of a corsair. This one had a litlle accident While using the Taxiway. There is no forward view so you have to use an "s" partern while moving the aircraft on the ground. I guess it doesn't always work.
