This week marks the 90th anniversary of the first Spitfire flight, and they're celebrating with a special flyover of the 3-4th Bridges Inn, Skylin. The flight kicks off as the second leg of a 9-stop UK tour, auctioned off back in March, heading out from RAF Koningsby to RAF Lucharzon, Wednesday, April 8th.
