Got a chance to hear the R-3350s and smell the smells of vintage radials
this sunday.
Been a long, long time since I was close to them..


Back in the 80s my son and I got to tour Fifi at Peachtree-Dekalb
Airport. The inside is less beautiful, but more impressive. We
didn't get to see her fly.

Back then CAF was "Confederate Air Force". I guess the PC police
overwhelmed them. She was with the Dixie Wing. Wonder what they call
it now?
