The F14 is too common for my tastes. I'd say go with the "Duck." I used to love everytime I'd see one of those being used in the old "Black Sheep Squadron" tv series. As far as other planes go....F4U Corsair (love the gull wings), steerman biplane (aerobatics, baby user added image and for fighter jets....there's a lot of wicked ones: the f4 phantom and the Helier (the jet that does the helicopter takeoffs) come to mind.

Speaking of fighter jets, years ago I went to England to visit my sister and her family (where her now ex-husband was stationed in the airforce). We went to the base, inside the tower by the target range.....jaguars and A10's doing target practice. I almost dropped my camera because of the sound delay from the planes guns to when the sound actually hit....the front guns on an A10 will startle the pants off ya...LOUD...I forget what size shells it packs 33-60...somewhere in there. It's like a giant gatling gun.
