Awesome pictures. It never get's old.

I wasn't able to get pictures but there was actually a Spitfire flying around over my house about 2 weeks ago (prior to the Dayton Airshow). I live about a mile from the Tri-State Warbird Museum so I get quite a few awesome fly-bys. As soon as I hear that sound I run outside like a kid. I was shocked to see that unmistakable Spitfire shape as it went over with a flight that included a P-40 as well as the B-25 and T-6 that are in the air on a regular basis.
