Planes not boats.
Rather cool, to be out in the backyard this evening, and hear a large,
powerful airplane. Look up to see a B-24 flying around. Later a B-17 giving rides. They are at the Livermore Airport for the weekend. http://www.elivermore.com/calendar/e...05.htm#Bombers |

They are at the Livermore Airport for the weekend. To many ears, including mine, there is no sound in the world to match the rumble of multiple large radials coupled to 12 - 16 ft propellers. It stirs the soul. |

When I was first in the air force, the area behind out shops contained some Radials on stands. No one ever seemed to work on them, but were probably just spares. There were a few C-124's still around. |

My uncle was a aviation machinist in the Navy, then worked in the field after. When I was a kid I'd go to work with him and hang at the airport maint. facilities all day. |
