G-IRTY - Silver Spitfire last leg - The Voyage Home

[alt-92]

This misty morning at Lelystad Airport, G-IRTY, the Silver Spitfire started her final leg on the tour around the world.
Luckily, at around noon the fog cleared and a soft winter sun came through.
 

 

 

 

After final checks were completed, engine start for the last leg.
 

 

 

The escort on the way out of Dutch airspace was provided by Trusty Rusty, a P-51D twoseater.

 

 

Heading out to the runway

 

 

Take-off run

 

 

 

And a well-appreciated farewell fly-by.
