Boot_Scraper Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Gotta admire the man who said “Hey Jimbo, let’s put a jet on that old biplane of your’s!”🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonSays Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 A little bit about it here: I use to be in the aviation field. I’ve worked on radial engines and turbine engines. Just never on the same airframe! That was really cool, thanks for posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 We have F 15 stationed in town as part of the NE critical response group. When they go to a hot call, you fucking know it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the Brits had the genius idea to put the Merlin in it, but then Packard in typical American fashion told them "hold my beer!", and the rest as they say, is history. The North American P-51D Mustang is away and by far the sexiest aircraft ever built in the history of mankind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
