The recipients of this year’s Flying Editors’ Choice Awards, for the first time, comprise four airplanes — two from the piston world, and two jets that quickly are assuming spots at the top of their respective markets. That should come as no surprise since new airplanes are likely to attract extra attention from the judges, who know they’ll have the chance to fly the contenders — which honestly is the best part of our jobs.
