The engines sounded awesome. It was music at WOT, and was really loud inside the plane.

Thats WiCkEd! Would love to go up in that.... Great pics too! :thumbsup:

Like riding inside a beer can? :lol:

Nothing like the sound of 4 Pratt & Whitney radials churning. gets my blood pumping everytime. We use to have a family friend who was left seat captain for FIFI, the B-29 Superfortress, retired airpleine captain that flew for the Confederate Airforce

I grew up with old airplanes and have restored quite a few of them as well. One of these days I will get my pics put on the computer and post a few of them up

Do you know Bill Klares out of Realto, CA?

Man I am jealous looks like you had a blast. How did you score the ride?

No I don't, there is a ton of people in the Confederate Airforce. The guy's name was Bill Thomas and lived here in OK until he pased away about 5 years ago. He quit flying FIFI about 10 years ago and flew the C-46 Tinker Bell for a couple years after that.

We have a bunch of other cool stuff based here locally like Miss America P-51, another P-51, Skyraider, 2 Douglas A-26's, and several others I am forgetting. Lefty Gardner's P-38 used to be kept here until it was sold a few years back. Another family friend takes care of alot of the privately owned warbirds in the area

It's a real bummer that there isn't much here in Vegas. Only a P-51 and you never see it. I love the Skyraider! Big, ugly and mean! :unibrow: I've always wondered what happened to Lefty's P-38.

Man I need to go to the Reno Air Races! :cheers:

It's a ride along deal from www.B17.org They travel around the country and you can book 30 minute flights.

I highly recommend it. What an amazing experience.

These have got to be the coolest pictures on the site.


Just AWESOME !!!!!:woot:
