I’m a nut for old airplanes. I love them, especially flying boats. My lifelong dream would be to fly around the world in a PBY Catalina. An even wilder dream would be to build a replica of the Laté 300, but I know it would take a miracle for that to happen.

And then I come accross a website like this. The guys at Spitfire Aircraft Co. build kits to help you make your own Spit fighter replica in your garage. A real one.

For reference, a Spitfire looks like this:

That’s awesome on so many levels. And I mean, literally. Flying this baby would make me cry with joy.

I think I got meself a new goal in life.
