Brad Pitt Buys A Spitfire

[GregP]

I'd definitely go for a Spitfire, Bearcat or Mustang if I could. And, if I could, all three.

But I'd probably spend more actual flight time in a Super Cub or RV-7 / 8.

At my present financial moment, my only option.....

Who here would not buy one if they had the money? Seriously..,.

I would have two, just in case one made me feel sick.

Don't forget, his training will (should?) be tailored to the end goal of flying the Spitfire, just like WW2 trainees.
No nose-dragger training, with a bit of tacked-on tail-wheel training at the end.
It will most likely be through a similar process as WW2 trainees, small, light tail-wheel trainers, AT-6. I'd think his insurance company will make sure of that.

Amen.

Speaking of celebrities, I recall that Richard Simmons, the exercise guy, bought a P-51 back in the early 90's when they went for about $100.000 each.

Personally, if I had the money, I'd first buy a Stearman and a Texan/Harvard, to really learn flying like they did back then...
After that.....back in the day, I'd probably have gone for the usual P-51, -47, -38 etc., but today, as to not ruin a piece of history, I'd go for Dora-9 replica, the JV44 'Red 13' of course!

.......and a Catalina or two!

He probably has, but it isn't newsworthy

Hey George, at least you have that. I don't even have the nickel to put in and get it started!!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Me either Chris.

O.k., I am suitably shamed at indulging in some celeb bashing.
Good looking, rich, hot wife, top of his profession, and he owns a Spitfire.
Can I at least hope he goes bald early?

 

[Lucky13]

.....or have an allergy to beer and bacon?

 

[meatloaf109]

Or both?
