EVERY AIRPLANE FREAK has his or her own favorite aircraft. However, if you really press them, or lay out a bunch of new airplane options to chose from, chances are they'll find that they have more than one favorite. In fact, it's like picking your favorite song: think about it too hard and it leads to confusion. That's the case with this issue, for sure. However, to confuse the favorite-airplane decision even further, we've dipped deeply into esoterica that is sure to confuse everyone. Regardless of someone's favorite airplane, there is no one who doesn't love the Spitfire. It's certainly one of our favorites. This is why in coming weeks you'll find a Flight Journal special issue on the stands that contains nothing but Spitfires. Just think of the Spit article we put in this regular issue, "If Looks Could Kill," by James P. Busha as a teaser. Actually, considering the amount of elliptical eye candy in the form of John Dibbs photography in these pages, it's more of an appetizer than a teaser. But, wait until you see how much more we have in the special issue! It borders on being obscene.
