Oh No... Terrible news.
However, I am glad to hear that everyone is ok. That is the most important thing.

I am with Blue....the Spitifire is one of our own Colorado folks, and I am very happy to hear that Bill, and the other pilot did not get injured in this incident, but am saddened by the damage to each of their respective planes. It's not like you can call up the nearest FBO service center, and order up new parts for these planes.
