Performance trials - Spitfire vs. Eurofighter Typhoon

Wednesday, September 05, 2007 | posted by Spitfire Site Editor | permalink

RAF Career Site has this humorous performance comparison between the Supermarine Spitfire and Eurofighter Typhoon. Needless to say, the Spitfire get the upper hand. As for the Typhoon... "you notice the extra power" but the interviewed pilot prefer to "trade the new jet for a few hours if it meant climbing into a Spitfire".

I agree. Do you?
