Hi Phil

I am pleased you enjoyed the clip and it bought back good memories. I just love those old piston driven engines with a sound all their own.

Cheers

Tony

When I was a kid I flew from Saskatoon to Vancouver on a Trans Canada Airlines North Star airliner. Those four Merlins sure roared and vibrated the plane till it was airborne. My brother sure got nervous when the wings started getting lift and the outer ends raised up a few feet. All in all a great flight though.
