What a sight, and sound, as a formation of 4 T 6's crossed over my house yesterday at about 500 feet heading east.
I'll see them again at the Warbird Show in Titusville tomorrow when I arrive in my humble PT23.

500' over houses? Around here you'd get 1000 angry complaints, a few death threats and a couple more out at the airport ready to confront you :!:

Ah yes...radials in springtime...like the swallows returning to Capistrano.

And there's nothing humble about a Cornell with a radial. Anything that flies and makes that "chugga-chugga" sound should be driven with pride! :wink:

Don't forget to post some pics.

I saw them too! I honestly thought I was day-dreaming, as I left work for the day with a really bad headache. They past so fast, by the time I turned the corner they were out of sight, like they had never been in the area at all. Ghost flight?!?! :shock: I was hoping & wishing they were T6's. It was at 5pm, over Altamonte Springs @ about 800-1000ft, 4 all were painted Red. They brightened my day. :D

Thanks for confirming the sighting!

My office is at the North end of the North-South runway here at KUES. I get to see and hear a lot of neat things. Two days ago, A Harvard flew past my window. Yes, chirens, spring is in the air! 8)

They were heading north over my house yesterday, I think towards NSB.
