It's EXACTLY this sort of thing that makes one realize why it is so important to "keep'em flying". There could be no greater way to honor these men than to celebrate their service and accomplishments than taking them back to a time when they were young, brash, full of life and enthusiasm and taking part in a grand and deadly adventure with the highest stakes imaginable. An airborne Spitfire (and other aircraft of that era) can speak to us in ways which a dark, dry museum exhibit never can...
Thank you, not just for the post, but for your very instrumental role in celebrating these brave soldiers of a bygone era.
