Man, these things are nothin but balls and guns! A 12cylinder RR Merlin engine and 6 50cal guns (that held 27ft gun belts in each wing, hence the term "the whole 9yds"). This guy came into the airport where i work for his 50th high school reunion in 1 of these. Left it on the ramp for several days (so he could show it off i presume) talk about a flex! Still, it just didn't feel right watching it rain on that piece of art... Imagine being an 18yo kid 6wks outta flight school and they drop your ass in 1 of those and tell u to "go kill well son!". Makes everything I've ever been excited about in my life seem small taters. Anywho, great video. God bless!
Such a beautiful aircraft
I got to fly one of these in 2001. They want to fly and you can feel it when you are on the brakes and throttling up. Beautiful experience.
