It looks good on her. Amazing that she is healthy enough still to fly.

She appeared very relaxed and right back in 1945 when she piloted these birds. What a wonderful woman.

Well, let's see, GHW Bush skydives up to his 90th birthday and this fine young lady takes off in a Spitfire at age 92...
Take THAT, you young whippersnappers!!... A big salute to Ms. Lofthouse and a thank you for her service...  <O>
