Fly A Spitfire -- With a Corsair!

Join Dave in the cockpit of a Mk IX Spitfire for a 2-ship formation Air Display at the Borden Airshow -- with a Corsair! -- and hear Dave's commentary about what it's like to fly such iconic aircraft. Lots of tips about the Spitfire; plus info about what makes a successful -- and safe! -- airshow display. Song: "On Track" (c)2018 Dave Hadfield, from his aviation album: "Climbin' Away". www.hadfield.ca These aircraft are owned by pilot and restorer Mike Potter, are based in Gatineau, Q.C., and are displayed in association with Vintage Wings of Canada www.vintagewings.ca This Corsair was damaged in an unrelated landing accident a year later, so these scenes are especially poignant to the volunteers and spectators who have been so impressed by it in the past. NOTE: There are many comments about how long it takes to go through the checklists and get the thing airborne. In the B of B the ground crews would have started the engines and done the mag checks etc before sunrise. As soon as the pilots appeared on the airfield they'd go to their aeroplane, talk to the crew about it, check that all the switches and levers were in the right position for a Scramble, and -- very important! -- arrange the parachute and harness "just-so" for a quick strap-in-and-go; and brief the ground crew about exactly how they were going to coordinate the startup and launch. BUT... I fly many different aircraft types, our ground crew have many different duties, and we have no time-imperative. So we use checklists -- which have been shown many times to reduce the "oh-crap-forgot-that" mistakes.
