That is about five miles from my house. I spend a fair amount of time there; even had my '72 911 in one of their shows.
We had Fifi out in front of one of our paint hangers one day. I had the privilege of being right next to the fuselage, about ten feet aft of the wing, when they started #2. My God, it would take a basketball to plug the exhaust dump on that thing. The last one shown in the video - the B25 - made a couple of dozen flights over my house yesterday as a part of their Labor Day celebration. Pretty cool - it even has invasion stripes on it.

That's why the B-25 is so damned loud... each cylinder has it's own 6" long straight pipe.

My dad standing on the wing of something he flew in WW2. He was an instructor in Corpus Christi so it may have been a trainer. I've got his log books - he did fly some fun stuff - P51's etc, but mostly he flew big transports across the Pacific to Malaysia.

Advanced Trainer 6. The wheels retract into the bulges at the wing root. The Navy used the same airplane, but called in the SN-J. Canadians called it the "Harvard". Last edited by Dantilla; 09-05-2016 at 03:51 PM.. |

That is great. Nothing like the start and idle lope of a V12 or round engine. The start was (and is) always my favorite sensory experience. That round sound is in my blood forever and sitting behind the stacks of a V12.... Nothing like it. Well, that is until you pour the coals to it on take off....
