  | Considering the Mustang is $2.2 Million (the B-25 is $795k) that Spitfire is going to be a serious dent in some ones pocket.

| I dunno. I think the only two guys with the experience to fly it are Flyboy J and Mkloby. At least on this board. Plenty of pilots. But not that many who have enough stick time not to go splat. Expensive splat at that. |
