What makes an airplane “cool?” Suffice it to say, we know it when we see it. It just kind of hits you. Almost all of the airplanes here do something really differently (whether subtle or in-your-face). Most of them are the longstanding objects of fascination by us pilots. Will you agree with them all? No way! But we know that you’ll think that most of them are as cool as we do. Enjoy checking out Flying Magazine’s “25 Coolest Aircraft.” —Robert Goyer, Editor-in-Chief, Flying
