Viscounts are turboprops..RR Darts IIRC. Still sad to see any classic going back to nature.

Those things have really cool RR emblems on the side cowls. A friend of mine gave me one years ago Yes they are Darts.

Ryan, way cool pic!!!!!!!

I love that C-5 pic Ryan

And I agree, that C-5 shot is fantastic!

A couple of hours ago during supper....my chair at the table faces the window and two real low twins zipped past. I got up just in time to get enough of a look between trees and buildings to see two earlier model AF Res. T-44's hauling a past my neighborhood. They were kinda in the pattern for out local airport but about a hundred mph to fast so I guess they were flying nap-of-the-hay-patch flying back to Easterwood at College Station.
Last Sunday afternoon, I heard a round engine but by the time I could get outside and spot it through the trees it was heading away. Low wing single engine monoplane, a familar shape and all over light gray with black or other real dark color cowling. Tora Zeke? It was travelling along the general route that stuff flies from central Tx. to Ellington, on the south side of Hot-sun.
The last year or so, Sunday afternoons have been good for plane spotting here.

CURTISS P-40C and I-16 'RATA' from FHC's 'flying day show' pass right over my house on their Southbound left hand break-
I still love the fact that from a distance, a single row radial @ 'middling' RPM's sounds like a wooden block rolling around in a barrel with it's inherent rhythm

Ahh yess...the rolling rumble. The B-25 is pretty good at that too, tho I guess it's due to the exhaust set-up
and/or two engines at odds with each other.

Today saw the Collings Foundation T-6 and PT-17 flying rides as part of the annual Father's day open house. Was there with two of my sons and a friend with his two.

Twenty eight years ago my class at A&P school disassembled that T-6 when Collings bought it for restoration. Of course like an idiot I chose to work on a Piper J-5 because they wouldn't tell us what projects we had to choose from.

Went to the Lest We Forget re-enactment today. C-47, T-6 and L-5 flew over the beach and saw a Wildcat and T-28 in formation later. Also saw a BT-13 and Huey.
