Old timers like me are going to get the title.

Inspired by Steve M's video post...http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1302991429

How great would it be to walk out your front door and fire this Pony up? Huh

Hope you like them, be gentle though, I'm out of practice! Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots Greg.

Not only did I get the title, but it reminded me of another old brand, J.W. Dant.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Have not thought of Four Roses in a very long time. But when I had a cough, I would melt some peppermint sticks in some Jim Beam. Wink
