    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.

    Obviously if we were to buy the Spitfire, we'd need a base:
