Distinctive exhaust note. I think of all the big piston engines banging around in those days and I am amazed.

Radi al engines have a unique and awesome sound.

And those weren’t even the largest engines of the period

You still have that CD of engine sounds I gave you? That was a lot of years ago.

Everyone should fly on a radial powered plane once in their lifetime

Not even close! The 4360 was 2.5 times the displacement!

Yup.

Jets are cool, but there’s nothing like the sound of those radials banging away.

We had a B17 buzzing around on one of those displays-buy a ride thing a few years ago, in addition to it looking like it was slowly floating (vs. flying) across the sky, the sound was wonderful.

...the bay bridge, judging by that picture...

I used to see one fly in the Bay Area, people said it was Otis Spunkmeyer, I guess it’s true. But he must be gone now, I never see it.

I have, but I’m almost too young to remember it.

I remember that plane; prob’ly been 25 years ago.

Somewhere, probably. I had it in iTunes at one point...
