WWII Spitfire Test Flight Photos (serious DUW)

I have a pair of great uncles who both flew those :D

Awesome plane and pics!

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed these! It was so great to see the plane I started working on 2 years ago finally fly.

Very cool! I saw them fly last Sept. too for the airshows out there. As a bonus, I got to climb all over that Lancaster. :P

Very good! Part of the flight took us over Santa Paula, but the planes are based at the CAF museum in Camarillo. Come over and visit sometime!

That's seriously wicked cool! I'm so jealous you got to fly in a P-51!! My hubby isn't exactly enthusiastic when I point out BP.net threads...but he'll love this one!! :D

@JLC That's really funny actually! I hope he enjoys the photos.


Forgot to add the P-51 is Man O' War, if anyone's familiar with the plane.

Me gettin in for my ride. The sell rides in the P-51's too, for a measly $1100 a half hour.

That's absolutely great! You're quite lucky to be able to do things like that. I'm not big on planes but my father is, and I showed him the pictures (of course he was in the process of fixing a model plane while i showed him) and he's absolutely thrilled that people are still interested in this sort of stuff.
