I have had the privilege of flying a lot of different stuff from a lot of diff manufacturers and each approach the 'proposal' with their own philosophies and ideas. Quite simply there is NO BEST airplane. ALL are compromises which is not to say all machines are a delight to fly. They are NOT. But the idea that one manufacturer or one country builds the BEST airplanes is to show a limited exposure IMHO. Not bragging.. just noting I have been very fortunate and am very grateful for being allowed to fly many diff concepts.
