Talk:Spitfire Mk.IX (Skilled)/@comment-11294942-20170810232649/@comment-50.100.60.146-20170811200135

That would be the Mk.24s, also known as Griffon spits, or Spacefires, mostly because they can dive faster than a Fw190, turn tighter than a beercan, keep energy better than a Mustang, and climb faster than a Yak, and fly higher than a Ta152.

(Some of that may be mildly overstated because I'm salty)
