Superb flying and superbly elegant machine. There's something quite romantic and gentle about the forms of a Spitfire that always fascinated me. |
times 1000 sir
All those old warbirds to me just seem so magestic. I cant really put my finger on it....... maybe its just aircraft and flying for me in general lol but WWII in piticular.
You got me searching 109 vids on youtube after this thread and i found this one of someone walking around what looks like a museum pre restoration yard of some sort followed by a flight demo of what looks like DB 109 (could be wrong i don't know the different types by sight that well) any way i could not help but think about walking around where the camera is in the first part of the video ALL DAY LONG!!
just tracing the lines of the skin of the aircraft with my finger tips and smelling that classic war bird smell of the cockpit and getting chills thinking about what it felt like to climb into the cockpit combining both your excruciating love for flying such planes with your fear of being destroyed and never having that feeling again every time you left the ground......... it just blows me away
I am truly in heaven in a place like that in the video
