Re: NNG My Salute to The Veterans with restored Planes

Hi,

Thanks for the video. Wonderful stuff. I had not thought of it before, but the old propeller planes seem to have more character than the amazing jets (SR71).

Sort of like steam and diesel locomotives - steam seems to be living and breathing.

My Dad (flew B-25s in WWII) said that the twin engine P-38s were not quite as liked as other single engine fighter planes. He told me that the two engines rotated in opposite directions so that they might have several P-38s on the ground with, say, the right engine good but there were no left engines around and they had to stay on the ground until more some lefts became available.
