Great  Grin

Went to Reno in, I think, 2002. There´s no sound lik a Merlin / Griffon passing by, not even any Duc .....

Still, even with that speed .... it´s easy to understand why strafing heavily defended enemy airfields during WW2 was considered near-suicidal unless surprise factor worked.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Not sure where that was filmed, but my experience with Alaskan Bush/Seaplane pilots is that they're not right in the head.
