Allrightythen...I will just stare at the picture here....DANG that is a beautiful bird :heart: :heart: :spit2 :heart: :heart:

OK...now, Mr Beasley, is your Sptifire the same mark as Rudy Frasca's? Sorry if that has already been answered. I love Spitfires, just not up on the different Marks. Do you have any East Coast shows lined-up yet? Would LOVE to see her in person...I promise not to drool on her :P

Gorgeous plane...

Yes, it is the same as Rudy's. They are Mk 18s. Only 3 flying in the world at this point.
Feel free to use as a screen saver, I would have ask my kids how to perform that maneuver. I have enough fun on the flying machines.

Once it's warmer. These tropical radiators don't like cold weather but a trip to TX would be good for her.

I'm still a bit bummed to have missed the Horsemen show at Lackland... All I saw was the arrival, break, and two nice lonely P-51s I'd never seen before in person WAAAAY down the ramp past the security guys.

Jim and I made a quick trip out to Willow Run to see Jack Roush's facility there. Our friend Andrew flew us out in his Columbia and it was great to meet the crew that works there. Just an incredible place.
Some pics-
