One of the best things about Oshkosh is the sound of those big radial

is still flying, and if so, where? If there was one at Osh, where was
it?

A lot of the racing guys have bought up 3350's and a lot are still out
here plugging away. There are a few 4360's out here as well. Notable
among these is Bob Odegaard's Super Corsair. I believe it's still flying
out in North Dakota. If it is, it's probably the finest example of this
model Corsair ever rehabbed.

Just the thought of all that HP behind the big radials causes a
vibration that causes something Viagra can try to achieve...! gg

Hi Rocky; how's it going with you? Hope all's been well with you and yours.

On the 4360; I don't think they allow women pilots start the Super Corsair .
Between the vibration, the fast left hand movement between the primer,
the starter, and the mags, and keeping the whole thing cooking without
setting the damn airplane on fire, and holding onto that big stick with
the other hand at the same time, they say the experience is so orgasmic
women can't handle it without a big smile.
