Exercising a Spitfire (Aerobatics)

Pilot's-eye view of an aerobatic flight in a Mark IX Spitfire -- lots of rolls and loops -- with commentary by Dave Hadfield. Nov 2022. www.hadfield.ca The aircraft is part of the Mike Potter Aircraft Collection, and flown from Gatineau QC. In association with Vintage Wings of Canada www.vintagewings.ca Go to 10:10 mins into the video if you'd like to jump to the takeoff, avoiding the start and pre-flight checks. NOTE: There are always 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.
