Happy New Year from W Air Collection.
2025 tested us hard. It reminded us that keeping rare warbirds flying isn’t about glamour, it’s about discipline, responsibility, and a team that refuses to compromise on safety or standards.
And it also reminded us why we do this in the first place: to share real moments of living history.
One of our favorites was at La Ferté-Alais on May 27–28, 2023, when we flew a formation aerobatic display with my friend Charbonel. I (BO) was flying WAC’s Spitfire Mk XIV FR RM927, and Bernard was flying the Spitfire Mk XIX owned by Christophe Jacquard.
To every organizer, partner, mechanic, volunteer, photographer, and supporter who stood by us: thank you. Your trust is what keeps these machines alive, in the air, and in front of the public where they belong.
In 2026, we’re coming back with the same mission: preserve, operate, and share history at full scale. More preparation, more precision, more moments that make the music, the energy, and the silhouette of a legend feel real again.
Wishing you a year of blue skies, strong friendships, and unforgettable flights.
See you on the flightline.
