[Spridgets] Fw: Fwd: WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR

[Norm 2Bs]

Bob:

You're not "bombing" the list with stuff like this.  As you know from our
conversations, I'm an radial nut as well.

Where we live down here in FLala land, we're under the landing pattern for
both Clearwater-St.Pete & Tampa airports.  Whenever the Coast Guard C130
flies over, I can't help but stop what I'm doing and listen.  Only other
regular "different" sound is from the Piaggios that fly over.  And, THEN
there is the annual visit of the B-17 & B-24.  That sound gets me outside to
watch.

I was at Bridgeport's Sikorsky Airport one year when they were there.  I
parked across the street & sat on the edge of the car's sunroof.  We were
right under the flight path for take-off.  What an experience!  I still get
chills thinking about it.  The sound is even better than a Ferrari V12 or a
honkin' American V8.  And, far better than my squeaky little 948, even at
speed with open pipe.

Cheers.
