Feb/March 2008
Stream On:
Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler has been flying high (sometimes in more ways than one) for close to 40 years. Now, just back from the band’s most sweeping tour to date, the loyal Gulfstream customer explains what makes him the most down-to-earth superstar in rock.
Return of the Goose:
It was one of the most famous planes ever made, the archetypal mid-century flying boat that ferried Hemingway, Harriman and MacArthur. Now, 63 years after the last one wheeled off the assembly line, a North Carolina accountant defies all odds to hatch a whole new flock.
Test Flight:
The Pilatus PC-12 has a large and avid following. But, our new columnist wonders, how will it stand up to the toughest critic he knows?
