I'm finally getting some video editing done!
Anyway, for those who haven't participated in an air-to-air, this video, edited from my helmet-cam while departing OSH in 2018, is what's behind getting an image like this:

Absolutely fabulous!! Your videos have the best "you are there" sense of any Spitfire videos I've seen - thank you from the Spitfire fan gallery!
One random question: when you take the Spitfire cross-country, what altitude do you want to fly? I assume the higher the better for both safety and gas economy?

Thanks! I've had some wonderful opportunities.
This Spitfire has no oxygen system, so we are limited to 10,000 ft. I generally choose 7500 or 8500, since I'm VFR.
I navigate using ForeFlight on my iPhone7 on a wristband. It works fine for the nav information, but I find that if I need to check weather and such, I need to come down to the 4-5000 ft range to get into the internet. There is no larger receiver/router on board, although there should be.
Of course winds-aloft might change my choice. On one of my trans-con legs in 2018 I came down to 300 ft AGL to get under a headwind and avoid an extra landing for fuel.
