There's a "nickname number" we gave to those of us who flew round engines


I guess that'd make me just a 2510. A brace of 1830s on the DC3, and a
little R680 on a Stinson I used to fly. :-)


Ah, the old Lycoming R680. Must have been a Gullwing :-)) Stable as a barn
door on concrete blocks that old bird was. You could fly those old birds
through a Hurricane and just maybe notice the ripple.
