Besides generally loving all kind of aviation photos,
as far as Im concerned, I specially like low altitude overview shots of airports or airport perimeters (fly by's, finals). Especially of some rather exotic airports - for example in South Asia (Pakistan India B'Desh Nepal S -Lanka). I also like overview shots if they come with precise descpription of heading and position.

My personal favorite shots are inside aircraft in the bone yard. It's just so interesting to see what happens to them once there days are up.

Retro-jets, in particular from the late 60s to the mid 80s.
As for action, I love 'threshold' shots where the plane is only seconds from touchdown, usually shot from behind and over the approach lights. I also like 'vapour' shots, where rain or mist is evident over the wings and the engines as a plane is roating or landing. Shots where you have dramatic backdrop ..i.e. a skylines (see Mark Garfinkel or Vasco Garcia's work from Boston), moutains (Andrew Hunt's shot from ZHR is a classic example of this), ect....Joe Pries and Michael Mclauglin's work from NYC's airports are first rate examples on how do shoot a classic 50mm profile shot.

Any out of the window pic is the best. I had made some with my camera on a National Airlines Boeing 757 with the engine in it but they rejected them They were really good though.

I like the boneyard pics too.
shots of b757 noses @ angles are cool
I don't like nose shots of widebodies, the cockpit windows look weird.
