The Spitfire is the very essence of beauty, power and well crafted machinery.

If you can't see/hear what is special about a Spit then you should lock yourself in a small locker at the bottom of the Atlantic and beat yourself around the head with a gherkin until either a) you figure it out b) you meet the RMS Titanic!

Mitchell's Spitfire had a grace and beauty that went well beyond the parameters of the design specification. I have never heard a pilot complain about the way a Spitfire handled, they became one with the machine. I think the term "you strapped the Spitfire on" best somes it up. You either understand or don't.

As for models real or virtual you pays your money and takes your chance Grin

I wonder how many of the doubters here have actually seen one in the flesh, swooping and diving.

We had one here at the Pope AFB open house last year. Truly a magnificant flight to see. Thanks to Oz and a few others, I enjoy my RealAir Spit on a regular basis Wink

Well I have seen a Spit once but will be seeing many at one time here soon

http://yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/aircraft.htm

And I have seen the 38 so many times I lost count, nothing beats the sight or sound of the 38 except maybe a DC3 lol.
Or even better two 38s flying formation with two P47s (Lost Squadron Airshow last fall).

Dont get me wrong a Spit is a beatuiful thing, but we all have our preferances.
