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:

It took almost 2 years to get this to us?!!! C'mon, pick it up!
Of course kidding, that was FANTASTIC!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!!

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.
