Video of Formation flight, Spitfire from P-40

Wed Jan 02, 2013 9:03 am

Last Nov 11, I did a flypast on the wing of the VWoC Spitfire. In the back seat was Jay Hunt, one of our stalwart volunteers, and he filmed :13m of it. It was a bumpy day, but he seemed to enjoy himself!

Most of the flight is at "route" spacing. We held for a while until it was time for the run-in. Then The Spit broke off to land, and Jay and I went out to play.

The wide circuit and long final is not desirable for prop fighters, but I was following a Cessna flying an airliner's pattern.

You'll like the music choice, according to Pogo's comment.

Great video, Dave. Thanks for posting. What a great back seat ride that would be.

I hope to see the P-40 somewhere this year.
