I hope people appreciate the immense effort, talent, and money that went into this restoration. The construction methods for this plane are mind-blowing. Huge thanks for the video. This is one of my very favorite planes.
There are only THIRTY of these things left. It should be in a museum, not flying. People who spend the "immense effort, talent, and money" are just doing it s a vanity project. It is time to stop flying these old WW2 aircraft.
After seeing photos of her remains rotting in a Chino storage yard twenty years ago I never thought I'd see PZ474/NZ2384 fly again. To see her flying at Chino is a real "pinch me!" moment. Thank you for this wonderful video Spencer.
Thank you spencerhughes2255. You did a wonderful job of coping with the bright sunshine. It was wonderful to witness the event, but thank God there are people like you around to capture it for others less fortunate who couldn't attend, and for those of us who could attend and now have our memories preserved on video. Thank you again.
My mum's best friend's husband flew Mosquitos during the war. In his study was a propellor blade from his Mossie, complete with 20mm cannon shell hole from a FW190 he had a run in with over Germany in early '45. I was gobsmacked. Obviously, he won and the FW 190 lost. Brilliant!!!
The Mossie gets my vote for greatest aircraft of all time! Beautiful, fast, capable of so many different things, beautiful, great sounding, fast. Did I mention the speed and the beauty?
Great video Spencer. My daughter and I really enjoyed your video. It was a pleasure meeting you today. When my O-2A is ready to fly I would be honored if you would be there to take the first flight video.

@@timothyhouse1622 I say fly them
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built - if not the most beautiful. A pure thoroughbred from the outstanding De Havilland works.
Those Merlin engines and nose cones give it such a “tough” look thanks for posting such great content on your channels

Very Badass Plane.
Magnificent. A supreme and highly appreciated marvel of expertise, effort and sacrifice. Bravo for breathing life into the old girl.
