A real 'sovereign of the skies'
King Air. Even the name suggests a certain regal air of superiority, and when Brian Jones of NAC at Oxford told me that the only C90GT in Europe was stopping by and asked whether I would I like to fly it, you can be sure that I didn’t need asking twice!

TBM-700, David Unwin, Today's Pilot, Flight Review

Flight Test: TBM-700
Scything through the summer sky at 5 miles a minute, I was profoundly impressed at not only how civilised the TBM is, but perhaps even more importantly, how easy it is to fly.

Personal Planes
Why own your own aircraft? Well, if you subscribe to the old adage that “time is money,” then Europe’s antiquated transportation system is probably costing you a small fortune! Let’s face it, surface transport in Europe is becoming ever more impractical. The roads are reaching gridlock while the rail network is suffering from years of under-investment; so will the solution be found in the sky?

Fummer Toppe
As though connected together, the five sleek jets pivot perfectly around the horizon as a single rolling entity. We pull up into a loop, the G comes on strong, and for a second I wonder if I’m going to regret not wearing a G-suit! Sliding seamlessly into the next manoeuvre, with the five jets holding formation with incredible accuracy, I cannot help but be profoundly impressed by the skill of the five pilots.

Dave's Diaries
Dave Unwin, Lusso’s flight editor and the editor of Today’s Pilot magazine reviews his diary from over the previous four weeks... To Pall Mall and the RAF Club for an excellent luncheon at the CAA’s annual General Aviation Awards.
