When I was a little kid, I didn't like the F-80/T-33. Straight wings on a jet? That's dumb.
I came to really appreciate that plane. Ahh maturity. Kinda' like beer goggles.
Beautiful pics.
Always exciting to see a Spitfire but doubly so when it is a one you have never seen before. This Mk. 18 is based about 2.5 hours from me. It is part of a growing collection that includes a P-51. Bf.109, Sea Fury, Harvard and just this past week they announced the purchase of a Zero.
