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

compound radials 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.
:-))



Similar reason they'll never let you fly as connie. Noone your age

can
handle three tails at the same time.

Ouch Bertie! That hurts!!!



Deny you loved it..


And all this time I figured the Viagra was to
keep my sorry ass from rolling out of bed at night.
