“I want to start with an embarrassing confession. With a lifelong obsession with aircraft and a few decades of experience engineering them, you might think I’d have an insightful and obscure favourite airplane (or ‘aeroplane’ as Hush-Kit would have me say). But the answer will disappoint you. Like many, I absolutely love the P-51 Mustang. I have tried hard to come up with a more sophisticated answer.

Despite some strong contenders, I keep coming back to the Mustang. The Mustang is the Jimmy Stewart of airplanes. Both are solid performers with dashing good looks, and few have a negative comment for either one. The Mustang’s graceful curves draw you in. The performance and technical details are what keep me coming back. It’s the best of both worlds: a stunning piece of art and a technical marvel. While the art claim is uncontestable, let’s dive a little deeper into the technical claim.
