Sk3284 is correct. If you're playing the Campaign, you cannot select an aircraft until Mission 5.

You need to decide for yourself what the best aircraft is for a mission. Everyone plays these games differently, so there's no way we could give you an accurate suggestion ourselves. Pay attention to the bars on the bottom-right of the screen in the hangar, however, that note the concentration of air and ground targets; this will be a good indicator as to how much air supremacy or ground assault your squadron is capable of compared to the enemy concentration, and if someone tells you, "I'm not sure about this formation's air-to-____ abilities..." then you might need to change aircraft. But you need to look at the statistics yourself and decide for yourself.
