We Never Thought This Could Actually Happen!

World War II British veteran Emil Boček visited Biggin Hill Airport, where he had the chance to fly a Spitfire for the first time since the war. In July of 2016, Boček took to the skies 70+ years after in a twin-seater Supermarine Spitfire, which he would later remark was his dream flight. He was among the more than 2,500 Czech and Slovak airmen who served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, a group remembered for their courage. Over 500 of them lost their lives in combat. What do you think about this amazing feat? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
