I was drawn to this site by a posting on the WIX forum.

With the current dollar exchange rate today at its very best, in favour of the pound, this is looking like a real bargain.

The girlfriend’s on about going to Florida – in a few years time! 🙁
Something to do with a castrated 6ft mouse, a yellow bear wearing a red jumper and a striped bouncy orange thing!

Bill is pretty strict on the weight limit – anyway its a bit snowy for Spitfire flying in Aspen right now but he will probably be flying down to Florida in April – that would be a nice trip 🙂

Yeah, I’ve been seeing these posters for rides in the Spit all along the front range at airports, he’s been doing it for about a year now. He usually does’nt like folks to weigh over 200 pounds (US), but for the amount he’s asking I’m sure he’ll put up with someone over that weight. Greenwood is a nice guy, at once silent, and the next moment chatty as all get-out, depending on the situation. He has been flying local airshows here in Colorado for about the last 15 years, and the Spit is always a popular attraction, being ‘exotic’ as it is…certainly not the kind of plane you would expect to see nestled in the Rocky Mountains, so far from England! We had TWO, until Chris Woods sold his Mk.16 SL721 off to Canada. Ray Middleton does the annuals on Greenwood’s plane and Eddie Kurdziel’s Firefly up the road at Fort Collins, and is restoring the Lone Star Hurricane at the same time. Quite a bit for the British eye to see here in Colorado…..
Where’s my check, Tourism board?
