Found an article that described this flyover of this baseball game:

https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/sports/high-school/baseball/2024/05/01/ahsaa-baseball-why-gordo-had-a-flyover-prior-to-its-series-vs-lauderdale/73526165007/

It was at the Jonathan Pate Field in Gordo, AL.

At first, I thought the plane was a WW2 warbird, perhaps a Hellcat, but nothing seemed to match.

It was a sport plane, a 1947 Navion, named “Maisie”.

I was thrilled the crowd got to hear something close to the “sound of freedom”——the roar of a fast, 1940s piston engine on a plane.

Nothing like it.

Good morning, exit.

What a cool Grandpa ... and, plane “Maisie”.

Love it. Thanks for the backstory info.
