Salute

More money than brains.

This guy should not be flying this plane, it is too valuable historically to be smashed up by noob. There are very few Spit's left.

Most Warbirds are flown by pilots with HUGE experience levels. This guy should either be practicing a LOT more in the backseat or selling it to someone who can fly.

Even if I had the money, I wouldn't try to fly a Warbird by myself. A replica, sure, not a plane which means this much in memories and tradition.

This happend here during last years homecoming show. They made him do a go around so he brought up his gear and I guess he didnt do his landing checklist again.

It is until you have the opportunituy to do a fly in one. Went out for 20 minutes in a P51 mustang in a second seat. Got a 7 min video if your interested.
