Just today in Barcelona it was a airplanes exhition in La Barceloneta beach, I've never go, but this year it was interesting because a Spitfare from the IIWW and a Douglas and some more has participate in the show and actually is not usual see an spifire doing acrobacy. I watch this on the TV http://www.tv3.cat/3alacarta/#/videos/4266210 (skip the add and 1 minute later you can see the Spitfire, this in Catalan, from the National TV of Catalonia) Cheers Lluis El 28/09/2012, a las 23:40, Jim Nichols escribi?: > A closed-course air race is scheduled for tomorrow, starting and > finishing at the local airport.
