102 岁高龄的二战老飞行员杰克·海明斯 (Jack Hemmings) 首次驾驶喷火战斗机翱翔蓝天。 At 102 years old, veteran WWII pilot Jack Hemmings took to the skies in a Spitfire for the first time. 周一，这趟航班从英格兰南部的一个机场起飞，目的是为他在近 80 年前共同创立的慈善机构 Mission Aviation Fellowship 筹集资金。 The flight, from an airfield in southern England on Monday, was to raise money for a charity he co-founded nearly 80 years ago, Mission Aviation Fellowship. 海明斯以前从未驾驶过喷火战斗机，他表示这次经历“绝对令人愉快”，但也承认“非常颠簸”。 Hemmings, who had never flown a Spitfire before, said the experience was "absolutely delightful" but admitted it was "very bumpy." 该慈善机构由海明斯与二战老兵斯图尔特·金共同创立，利用飞机向有需要的国家运送救援物资、药品和紧急货物。 The charity, which Hemmings founded with fellow WWII veteran Stuart King, uses planes to deliver relief, medicine, and emergency cargo to countries in need.
