Ditch this - I don't think we have any UIUC aircraft in common use (though
the Wright Flyer might be)

c172p should be included as it is mentioned extensively in the docs and
has basic tutorials.

Much as I like the c310 - it's now very primitive compared with recent
aircraft. Replace with the Seneca II.

Include as a nice easy taildragger.

I'd suggest replacing this with a complex single, say the pa24-250. Then
we have a nice progression from training to complex twin.

Does anyone actually use this?

I'm sure that there are better jets, but I'm not familiar with them in
enough detail to suggest a replacement.

As Melchior says - ditch as no-one uses it.
I'd also suggest that we include a carrier-capable jet as well - seahawk?
