New Spitfire IX to fly in 2017

Crimea_River · Apr 27, 2017

The long awaited "Y2-K" Spitfire project will reach a significant milestone this summer as the completed Spifire IX will take to the air. I saw this project in 2001 when it was still a fuselage in a jig in Comox BC.

So even farther away. It will actually fly out of Gatineau George. VWOC took over the project several years ago and shipped the whole thing to their base there.

Excellent - another Spit to grace the skies, and even better that it's a 'Canadian' Spit, in Canada.

Fantastic. I would love to be able to sit in the cockpit with the engine running............and then accidentally slam the throttle forward......and then regret not taking flying lessons
