At work the other day, while waiting for flight 2020 to land a customer ask what kind of aircraft that was that just landed. Distracted by printing off the flight dispatch and other items for the arriving flight I mentioned that there are a number of small private planes which use the airfield. Turning to look out the window I was shocked to see a Spitfire! It had just landed and was taxiing past us and up to the hanger.
The spitfire is owned by the Collins Foundation. It is part of a fleet of aircraft and other vehicles from WW2. Turns out they rotated smaller aircraft around the country for air shows. There are a few others coming in soon. If you are interested there will be a show here at the Worcester Massachusetts airport the weekend of September 22 to 24. More information to follow.
Very nice, I don't think there are that many operating Spitfires now, so to catch one like that is a really nice treat.
