I will admt the sound of a Merlin is very sweet, but to watch and hear those four Wright Cyclones come to life just says POWER!

I gotta agree with you on that one Clyde!!  My buddy Rodney (some of you may remember when he was a club member) and I were at the one SJ air show late Sunday afternoon when the planes started to fly out and stood directly behind a P-51D as he started up and eventually taxied out.  The prop wash was amazing, and the sound was unforgettable.

 :)  It is so nice to see her in the air again.  Got a chance to see her back in 1978 - the sound of those four big radials is something!

Check out the YouTube of the CAF's B-29 Fifi. Beautiful in flight photography.

The second video is very nice and I'm told that a P-51D makes an appearance. Wonderful Merlin sounds. Clyde and Woody may want to exercise caution.
