A personal jet, half a century before the Vision: The Morane-Saulnier MS760 "Paris Jet": youtu.be/YCBdEh_k3TQ
Except for noise and fuel consumption, this looks like the ultimate personal transport. I want one, but only few were built, and less than a handful survived in airworthy condition.

If you ask people about the great marvels in , I think only aficionados and experts will name the and yet it is unrivalled in many categories and although it has been designed to fulfill the needs of the it has proven almost irreplaceable in the civil air cargo transport market. And all that with now 40 years in service!
To me, it doesn't get a lot more impressive than that!

The DeHavilland DH115 was the trainer version of the Vampire jet fighter. Often seen with brightly coloured panels to allow others to identify the student pilot. Which let me mock up this advert using as much Day-Glo orange as I could fit on screen.

On this day in 1972 (50 years ago!) all commercial traffic shifted from the downtown airport up to Kansas City International. The first scheduled passenger flight was a Delta DC-9 to Memphis.

In an attempt to anger as many people as possible hushkit.net asked me to list the 10 most over rated military aircraft. Consequently I'm still banned from RIAT.

Having a big name in doesn't prevent you from mishaps, as you can see with this P-51 "Mustang" 😁:
