Our ambition almost bested us this month, as we attempted one of our most ambitious undertakings to date. New analytics, charting—all sorts of bells 🔔 and whistles. 😗 In any event, a little late, and without further ado (we've all had enough 'do' for this month), here's the October issue. 💥 | 🛩️ 🥇

The September issue drops. 💥 Managing Editor @terencecgannon.com worries out loud about the backlog on De Havilland 515 'Super Scoopers'. According to his nibs, meeting the demand requires deep contemplation of the lineup outside the Crumbl cookie store and adopting a 'Mossie Mentality'. | 🛩️ 🦆 ⚔️ 🥇
