I have divided mine into two lists, bucket list consisting of aircraft that are either retiring any time soon or are one of a kind or very few, and the other one planes that I want to catch but that are more common.

On my bucket list: Beechcraft Starship; C5 Galaxy before its retired; B52 before its retired; Any and all of the last flying WWII era bombers; John Travolta's 707; White Knight 2 with Spaceship 2; Sea World Shamu 737s; AN-225 and 124

Planes I have yet to capture but really want to: The first of the domestic flights of the 787 into and out of LAX; Want to see the 747-8 F/I at LAX; An A380 of any airline (haven't even seen one in person yet, let alone photographed one); F22 Raptor; F35 Lighting II; eh.. just add almost everything that flies to this list lol.  I do a lot of private aviation photography but very rarely have the opportunity to see the large airliners any closer than just contrails overhead lol.
