    My old Engines and Systems teacher once told me "the Super Constellation was the best 3-engined aeroplane ever built".

    Yes - some of the predecessors with earlier versions of the engine were not as good. If I remember rightly the B29 was the first of these - and some of them apparently demonstrated their capability as twins.

    Update on the JSF and storms. Apparently they have (after more than 10yrs) found a way to sort out the JSF's slight technical glitch with self detonation in electrical storms and all F-35's coming off the line have been suitably modified with the fix. They now just need to retrofit all previous aircraft with the gear - including our aircraft. Good news at least.
