Default Tom Cruise's P-51 Mustang

Yes - Does his wife not fly it now, and with great ability?

Yep, I have seen that. In fact the CAF had one.

Normally there is a large
fuel tank there but if you tank it out this just enough

room for a man.


Delivery of the Spitfire Mk VIII began in April 1943, of

which a small
number were converted to two seat trainer aircraft. This

was a private
venture by Supermarine and was never accepted by the Royal

Air Force,
however the Irish Air Corps were to later purchase the

aircraft.

One (an ex MkIX) was restored by the late Nick Grace and is
on the UK
airshow circuit, it has been tweaked though, with the rear
cockpit
lowered, looks much better.
