What a great post!

My dad was a radar operator in a B-24 "mickey ship." He got shot down in 1945, and his favorite joke long afterward was to tell people he got shot down and killed -- he'd then introduce his five baby boomer children (we all groaned at this point of course).

Long live the Flying Fortress and Liberator!
 
I got 7 out of 8. I didn't know the pilot question and guessed wrong. The Military Channel has a lot to answer for.
 
Great vid, Bob! Love to hear those Wright Cyclones puuuuuurrrrrrrrrr ...

Of course, the Pratt & Whitneys sounded pretty good too!

How about a symphony of military aviation history?

In the first few seconds you hear the P-38 purr, then the F-86 whines in, and finally the F-22 roars. Toward the end, you hear each mix and separate. Kinda cool. :thumb:
 
Well, how bout these Juggs?
