Awesome video. Thanks for posting.

The one that came in to land at about 1:50 appears to be a two-seater. Converted for a second rider or a training variant? Don't believe I've ever seen a two-seat Spitfire.

Amazing thank you.


Would have been a blast to see them in the flesh.

Yup your right, it was a 2 seater Spitfire.The "gracie" Spitfire if i'm correct, someone may have to verify that.

Over here in the UK we have 3 two seater Spitfires, possibly 4. Getting to fly in one though....

Not going to happen. Only tv shows get to go in them, due to insurance costs etc its just far to expensive and not going to happen.

Or to put it a better way -

In the UK it would appear some people are tight bastards.

LOL

There are several airfields and organizations around the US that offer rides in old Warbirds. For the most part they use trainers like the T-6 or similar, but I know of an outfit out of Dallas, Texas, that sales seats on B-25 flights. The same place is supposed to offer P-51 Mustang rides pretty soon. The cost? A cool $2,000 per 20 minutes.
