I used to work at a fixed base operation in Reno. During the air races it was great because you got to see so many vintage planes up close. I got to fuel up P-51’s, P-38’s, B-25, B-17’s. Very cool. Crowded, but cool.

Watching the WW2 planes take off was the greatest. I still say the P-51 is the most beautiful fighter plane ever built (from WW2 era, that is).

And no other engine sounds like it, neither.
