PMDG 777F but am currently flying the QW 787 on a round-the-world tour.

When I not being propelled by a turbofan, its the Milviz F4U Corsair. I have to say she is a bit of a handful to fly!

Interesting question.

I find myself flying the FSLabs Airbus series a lot, mostly the A320. I've gotten pretty proficient at it, although I'm still a little challenged by landing at consistent rates (currently around 200-250 fpm). I have the Aerosoft Airbus A318-A321, but with my last update to v5, I haven't downloaded them. Second would have to be the NGXu (love the immersion), followed by the Aerosoft CRJ (no autothrottle keeps you on your toes throughout your flight).

I also find myself less and less tempted to buy further aircraft. I already have most of the study-level ones, and I'm planning to fly them more in the future, but something about the FSLabs Airbuses just keeps me coming back.

For me, I like to just jump into any of the a2a planes. They are all just so good! 
 

Particular favourites are P-51 Civ and the Comanche.

I primarily fly the Manfred Jahn DC3 civilian or military packages. That is largely because I do enjoy the aircraft and its relatively slow handling. And, I am heavily involved at www.dcairways.net, which has been my VA for almost 15 years.

When not flying the DC3 I gravitate to the A2A Cessna 182, and sometimes the Carenado C185 amphibian for seaplane flights.

The most difficult plane for me has been the Connie, which I bought from Just Flight, but which is now one of the default aircraft in P3D. Every now and again, I will start up a 737, but I have probably not taken enough time or effort to master it successfully. I mean, I can take off, navigate and land, but I just like the props better.

I love the Manfred Jan C47. PMDG hints occasionally at a DC3 but I don't see how they can improve an the MJ much. I know Robert Randazo owns a three but I would prefer those energies be put toward a CV440 or Martin 404 but oh well.

There's no such thing as a "go-to" plane for me.  I typically fly one for 7-10 days, then get bored, and swap to another. 

Currently I'm bouncing around the NW USA in the Flysimware Falcon 50, and, I might add, really enjoying trouble-free flight after trouble-free flight in a nice, stable sim.
