My homebase is Weeze/Niederrhein airport (NRN/EDLV), even though I live in the Netherlands, this is the closest airport to me (only 30 minutes with the bike).
I only started being a spotter this year in June, so I haven't seen a lot of aircraft yet, but here is my top ten of NRN
I've based my opinion mainly on the aircraft and photo itself.

Starting with number 10, we have this beautiful private jet, the bombardier Global 6000, as it is starting it's engines.
N599CH by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrNumber 9 is reserved for this gorgeous, though fully white, Classic 737-300, vacating the runway via taxiway Alpha.

D-HVBE by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAt number 6 is this flight trainer, with some nice lighting
D-ILHE by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAs more military visitors came, I got to see this awesome falcon 50 of the Italian air Force and it deserves the number 5 spot.
MM62029 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAt number 4 another Italian Air Force aircraft, the Piaggio P180
MM62200 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrNumber 3: Great light and I simply love corporate jets. This was also my first picture that I've uploaded on airplane-pictures.net
D-IAAB by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrThis amazing Czech L-410. Not only the aircraft is beautiful, also the livery is an amazing one in my opinion. combine this with the beautiful light and background and that gives me the number 2.
2312 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrFinally at number it definetely has to be the A400M of the German Air Force. It has visited the airport 5 times in a short time and therefore I do have several pictures of it.
