I've established a first selection by following the main aircraft page : http://www.flightgear.org/download/aircraft-v2-4/ and removing alpha/beta/experimental/early-production planes. I'll try to shorten this list one way or another and come back with a limited aircraft list. If somebody wants a plane to be added to it, just tell me : I'll update it. I'll try to work on that ASAP, but I am currently very busy, so don't expect any change before a few weeks.
