We spend hundreds of hours on board a variety of airplanes each year, most often en-route to a trade show or product launch event, but occasionally we have a rare opportunity to hop on board military aircraft, to test out unrelated products, or, even more unusually, to take a seat behind the yoke.
Few manufacturers reveal their worldwide flagships at the show, however, so we're left (more often than not) with a smattering of products that typically don't raise the bar for innovation or design.
