• Based in Cisco, Texas, Michael (Mike) OSullivans Supermarine kit aircraft manufacturing business began 21 years ago in a small hangar between Abilene and Dallas. Today, his Spitfires are sold and flying throughout the world, thanks to millions of dollars spent on R&D creating a product that is high quality, safe, and a joy to fly. OSullivans Mk26 and Mk26b are well-proven designs featuring all aluminum components pre-drilled and precision cut using a computer controlled CNC router cutter.
