👋 Meet Sean

Hi! I’m Sean, a 10-year-old supersonic aircraft enthusiast from Taiwan. I’ve been fascinated by fast aircraft for as long as I can remember — from the moment I first learned about Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in the Bell X-1, I was hooked.

I own a scale model of every single aircraft featured on this site — all 52 of them! My collection includes everything from the legendary SR-71 Blackbird to the cutting-edge F-22 Raptor, from the record-breaking X-15 to the beautiful Concorde. Each model sits on shelves in my room, and I can tell you the top speed, engine type, and first flight date of every one.
