A Different Breed Of Spitfire

After seeing all the screenies of A2A's great looking new Spitfire I had to take the one I own up for a spin. A look at the MkI's younger sister.
 
RealAir's Mk.IX and XIV will still without doubt see many, many more flying hours on my machine - I especially adore the contra-rotating prop variants of the RealAir XIV - like a jet on take off (no torque effect) and tremendously fast yet benign...go, go, go! :)
 
I'll second that. The I-V models have been done to death. Give me a Griffon ... two props ... and a bubble top ... !

Yes, the RA XVI is the definative FSX late model Spit, to be sure! Hope a 22/24 comes along some day, or a Seafire F Mk 47 ... :)

I still fly the RAS Mk.IX a lot, when I'm nosing around or just want to have some fun. I don't tend to fly the Griffons as much, I prefer Merlins, but they certainly won't be totally sidelined by the Accu-Sim Spit, that's for sure.
