Sheik returning to the airshow circuit

Post by aviodromefriend »

Thanks to one of that boring "Do you know ..." emails from Twitter, I stumbled at @KLu_HV. This account claimed that, on the day that a lot of people were looking to Switserland, an (as a once RIAT commentator described him) airshow legend is on his way back into the airshow circuit.

Last Saturday (that is September 6) Ralph "Sheik" Aarts made his first solo flight in the RNLAFHF"s Spitfire at Gilze-Rijen.
