What will be the first thing you do in the spitfire?

[antagonist]

Botch my takeoff and fireball horribly.

[razo+r]

Going to load some nukes on it and fly out somewhere

[Zimmerdylan]

Have some tea..................

[MegOhm_SD]

After start up...take off trim..taxi out to the runway...take a deep breath...contemplate and execute a perfect take off...and once airborne and up to a good altitude, put her though her paces getting the feel for how she handles...then enter landing pattern and config...and execute a perfect landing...taxi to parking and shut her down. Piece of cake! In my dreams!

Well, I'm already obsessing about which controllers and buttons I will assign, so the most probable scenario is that I will (after making laborious charts of my assignments & spending at least 2 hours setting up my control assignments) spend about an hour in the cockpit testing my assignments and coming to the realization that I got it all wrong.

 

cheers

[Tdaffy]

Probably crash it.

This sounds very familiar.

Add to that the effects of several Spitfire ales and it could be a couple of days before take off. :beer:
