I don’t fly them enough to dislike them. 
ETA: Reminds of what Lee Trevino said to his partner in a Pro-Am. The guy was getting really mad about how he was playing.
Lee said, “Look, you’re not good enough to get mad.”

That ATR 600 is criminally overrated at 16th. I LOVE the plane, but I just do not like the addon.

That Saab 340B in the fs2024 premium deluxe version of the game might break the ATR popularity

Putting a lot of hope in the Saab to finally scratch an itch. Hoping on a Carenado beautiful model getting modded into a hero aircraft, like the D18 of commuter TP twins. If this and the C90 are great, it’s worth the entirety of the PD upgrade to me.
But then again, they may be reworking some of these already. Wonder what the state of the 350i is going to be.

Wow! Which ones do you really dislike? Might be some I want to avoid picking up!
So I don’t have to name names, they are all either free, or included with the sim.
Honestly… don’t hate that list besides the money pit(ahem excuse me F35) better fighter jets to pick.
Cockpit shot of the H4/Hurcules/Spruce Goose tho 
. $20 on top of your ticket on the right day at Evergreen Air Museum and you get a full tour, including getting to sit in the cockpit and climb a bit into the wings(which have catwalks)

Interesting article but it’s very subjective to the author I feel!
Some glaring omissions from my perspective.
Where is Concorde? Spitfire? Piper Cub? B-17 Flying Fortress? F-117 Nighthawk? Bell 206? Huey?

Any list of iconic planes that doesn’t include Concorde is clearly factually wrong.

They went with a few too many heavies. And a recency and commercial bias.

Iconic… DC3… 727… ?

All of this is true but having it limited to 10 aircraft… Kay I already said the F35 because I’m just not a big fan of it at all, f14(hey I even have skis with F14s on them haha), f86, f16, f4, f22 and my personal favorite although idk if it qualifies as most iconic, FA18, to me are all more ‘iconic’.
I would personally trade a lot of your picks as favorites, but as far as icons? That means what your mom has heard of not what we nerds like.
Concorde for An225 seems like a very valid trade, nothing is more “iconic” than Concorde.

You’d probably enjoy this set of lists.
And if you don’t yet know Hush-Kit … you should!
Some of the best, quirkiest aviation writing out there.

If you ask anyone to come up with a top 10 of anything, it’s hard not to be subjective. Movies, for example.

BA is on the right track, the Hercules and most of the heavies don’t really belong there. Author hasn’t been around long enough. I’d make the argument that only the 707 or 747 should be on there for jet airliners. The Comet had ‘issues’ and the Goose never left ground effect empty.
I’d go
Wright Flyer
Cub
Sopwith Camel
DC3
Spitfire(tough call there-took the Spitfire’s engine to make the P51 list-worthy)
B17
707(tough against the 747)
Concorde
F4 Phantom
SR71
