Quite an exciting week as Hubble decided to go flying - in a Spitfire at 89, with pacemaker and AF.
Just wanted to show - life with AF is not all about the anxt! He LOVED it, especially the 2 victory rolls and got to handle the controls. I was in chase plane, flying in close formation and took this photo. I have some a LOT closer so you can clearly see the faces. This particular plane was the first prototype of a double cockpit trainer spitfire developed after WW2.
Amazing.....what a memorable thing to do x
Well done both of you, a fantastic experience.
Absolutely brilliant, glad you both had a fantastic time! So what’s next & when? X
Now there’s the question - 1st 90year old into space?
Do I take it hubby gets first go to tell yo what it’s like?! You both sound up for it & good for you - you’re both obviously young at heart - I look forward to your next chapter xx
Ow wow what a fabulous experience for you both!Thank you for sharing this uplifting post. Xx
What an incredible experience for both of you and inspiring for everyone to read…..
Me jealous???? Yeaaah! Was that from Goodwood? Boultby? Most of the two seaters were ex Irish airforce.
There’s flights from Exeter Bob. Biggin Hill where the main servicing for all the Spitfires workshops are. We had a great day which included full tour of workshops & wing construction shop. You’d love it.
just goes to show its never too late to fulfil your dreams, amazing.
How wonderful.
How lovely to hear this CD. We tend to forgot that we can still do new and exciting things as we age. Your post is very inspiring.
Fabulous! Where did you fly over? We’re currently in North Yorkshire and seen a few go over, albeit a bit faster, US jets etc 🤣
Most scariest if trips I’ve had is in a bubble shaped cooter in St Lucia 😱 never again
But I did go in a bigger copter, took only 4 over Doubtful sound NZ, even landed on the top! That gad it’s moments, didn’t know I had PAF then 🤪
Inspiring! Congratulations x
wow!
Awesome Dreamer!
We can’t give up living… this is proof!
I had to be taken off a plane once because of an attack and it was luckily just starting to take off… My heart rate was 230 at the time….
…have just booked my first trip across North America since ablation in June…from Boston to LA in October…6.5 hr flight.
Thank you for the post… so encouraging!
Oh WOW, CD, how exciting! I'm jealous! Thanks so much for sharing the lovely picture. The Spitfire...what an icon, closely followed by Mr CDreamer.
I'm off to the US early tomorrow morning but hopefully no barrel rolls, can't be dealing with all that hand luggage flying around 🙂
How fabulous - what a great post! Living life to the full.
Oh wow what an experience. Such a positive post to read and thank you for that. Skydiving next? x
Actually, that was on the agenda but it’s such old hat in the family.
