I don't know which aircraft are in the "base" package (flightgear-data),
but IMHO:
 * harrier : British Aerospace Harrier
is something known and interesting (vertical takeoff/landing),
 * il2 : Ilyoushin IL-2
is also quite famous WWII attack plane and
 * wrightFlyer1903 : 1903 Wright Flyer
is must have :)
