Flying Magazine's editorial staff share their personal gratitude for specific aircraft, prompted by the Thanksgiving holiday.
The reasons for their thankfulness are diverse, ranging from an aircraft's reliability and performance to its role in personal milestones, memorable journeys, professional careers, or scientific advancements.
The featured aircraft span various categories, including private planes (TBM 940, ICON A5, Cessna Skyhawk), commercial airliners (Airbus A340-300, Douglas DC-3), business jets (Bombardier Challenger 350), military transports (C-130), and a scientific observatory (SOFIA).
As we gather with family and friends to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, whether its around the dinner table before the big feast or around the big screen watching football, parades or dog shows, invariably, the discussion will eventually turn to things that we’re thankful for.
