runways look awfully big when you're in a spam can and they take
forever to fly the downwind leg!

What makes you think you have to fly the length of the runway to do
T&G's?

Because I didn't want to explain to the tower why I truncated the pattern
for 30C when 30R, 30C and 30L were all in use...howzat?

Ah Ha! Information not included in the original posting! :-))

Those were the good old days but we only realize it now )

The biggest I fired up was the R2800 (P-47D).

Looking back I think I remember it sounded like a 'Harly Hog' today
for those who haven't heard one start and run.

snip

Had a biker walk into the hangar one day looking for some "airplane
oil" for his Hog.

Asked him if he wanted 40 or 50 weight, detergent, or not. While he
was thinking about it, he was checking out a R-985 hanging on one of
our E-18S's.

"could I put a couple of those on my bike?"

"if you did, it would be darn near a 220."

"whoa."

Yep, use that one too.

Maybe I should say "Skidding"? Since I'm on skids? g
