Favorite aircraft? There's not a few in particular for me.
When, for example, I think about mid to end cold war types, the following have always caught my attention.
The Saab Viggen, a swedish fighter. With the large canards this looked like almost having a double wing, which made it look impressive.
Then the Convair B-58 Hustler, an intermediate Bomber. A really large Delta, with podded engines (almost a bit Star Trek like) and the large centerline pod carrying fuel and the payload.
And finally, the Avro Vulcan, a british intercontinental bomber. Yet another Delta, really big one. And almost kind of a blended wing design.

My fav is a toss up between the rafale and raptor. I also have a soft spot for the corsair A7E.

Now that you mention that, the Vought F-8 Crusader has always caught my attention with it's variable incidence wing. Apparently very maintenance intensive but a nice idea.
Modern mil / civ favorites to follow later ...

Obviously Rafale hehe but in fact F-22 is the more beautiful after difficult i have several the small Grippen is nice Flanker enough impressive look and completely unusual the Su-34 Mr duck-nosed
