That sounds like such a great day out. I can imagine how hard it must be to capture those planes in flight, especially at the speeds you mentioned, so it is nice you were able to get a few clear shots. I like how you point out that the real fun is not only in flying but also in the time spent preparing and working on the planes. Starting small before moving to the bigger jets sounds like a smart plan, and a Spitfire would be an amazing choice down the track.
