点评:What can I say except I am still buzzing from my flight in an actual Spitfire, named Elizabeth by the original pilot in 1944. She saw action an shot down two ME109’s.
My pilot on 21st June was Charlie Brown, a wonderful guy, ex RAF Tornado pilot and spotting a superb handle bar tash. Proper job.
He was so friendly, skilled and I had total confidence in him.
The preflight briefing in the office was very good by Emma, please forgive me if that’s wrong.
Ground staff were brilliant getting me into and strapped in, a final ‘hands on’ safety briefing and ready to go.
We flew around in close formation with a bright yellow Harvard T6, my boy on that taking photos.
After a while, we peeled off for aerobatics and Charlie let me actually fly the Spitfire left and right for a bit. That I will never forget !
I wish I could live longer so I have that memory for longer.
Thank you to everyone at Aero Legends 😎🙏
翻译:除了至今仍沉浸在乘坐真正的喷火战斗机的兴奋之中,我还能说什么呢?这架飞机是1944年由原飞行员命名为“伊丽莎白”的。它曾参与战斗,击落过两架梅塞施密特Me 109战斗机。
6月21日那天,我的飞行员是查理·布朗,他是个很棒的人,曾是英国皇家空军“旋风”战斗机的飞行员,而且留着漂亮的八字胡。真是个好人!
他非常友善,技术精湛,我对他完全信任。
飞行前在办公室的简报由艾玛主持,讲解得非常好,如果我说错了请见谅。
地勤人员非常出色,他们帮我登机并系好安全带,最后进行了一次“手把手”的安全讲解,一切准备就绪。
我们和一架亮黄色的哈佛T6教练机紧密编队飞行,我的儿子在那架教练机上拍照。
过了一会儿,我们脱离编队进行特技飞行,查理让我亲自驾驶喷火战斗机左右飞行了一会儿。那段经历我永远不会忘记!
我真希望自己能活得更久,这样就能把这段记忆珍藏更久。
感谢Aero Legends的每一位成员😎🙏
