Voodoo, Voodoo, Voodoo.......Donuts The only donut shop I've ever seen with a line every bit of 200 people when we visited the Portland area. Crazy! The Portland underground tour was purdy cool too. File photos    Funny stories what you could get in a filled donut, before the FDA stepped in years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 I thought that was pretty funny... and then wondered if it was 50+ years old, given new life in social media/cyberspace.

^^ Yep - I think the turbine is a PT-6 twin pack - no? I just have a fondness for the old radials.
Cash - you posted the pic of the 300C (I've got about 80 hours in them from many years ago), I'd heard Sikorsky is selling the 300 line, have you heard who might end up with it? I hope not the Chinese...

Isn't it the same radial engine that drove the F4-U Corsair, at least in the beginning phases of production?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Sikorsky had an R-1820 engine and the Corsair had an R-2800 engine, about 800+ more horsepower for the Corsair.

This beast, on the other hand, had two R-2800 engines (Sikorsky H-37).
