Lot's of radial engines clanking as seven or so what I call Chinese airplanes flew over in formation this Sunday AM. Found out later one of them was a Yak-52 made in Romania. And then, the gold standard, a P-51 singing that distinct splat,splat splat RR song. Think I'll go over and take a look, just as soon as I finish a few chores. *Gone by the time I got over there--six blocks. Looked at the Chinese and Romanian planes. Didn't look near as good as a Vultee BT-13,even if it didn't have retracts. A Cessna AT-17 looked like it needs some TLC. By far the best looking plane was a yellow Beech Staggerwing whose owner told me last year that it was getting to be too much airplane for him. Lot's of hanger flying (mostly lies) and too hot to stay.
