Warbird Information Exchange

After a little hard labor of cleaning plugs, adding oil, We got the engines running on N86492. If you would like to heaaaaar them go to www.royalaviation.com
Whilst there check out the "warbird" section at the top of the page.
Thanks,
bob

Fantastic!! There is absolutely nothing like the sound of a radial cranking up!

Great to hear, Avatrbr! The world needs more Harpoons with running engines!

Sirs,
This notice is to hearby inform you that you are in violation of H.O.G. Article 1...Failure to notify in advance of the running of engines, or operations of engines on the PV-2 type of aircraft..
Since you did provide operational proof in the rercording of the engine run, this notice will be served as a warning.
In the future, please inform the community in advance, so I can be there, if possible, to witness such events.

Respectfully Yours,

Gary Hilton

Hello fellow HOGS, Just a note to let you know one of your fellow HOGS was in the loop so to speak..The Hog known as the pooner was notified but not in attendance. Something about having to earn a living. But I did make that little video available for any HOG that wishes to view it can.
Providing of course they have internet access..
Fair warning..I plan to run the left engine again today at Flight Trails here at FFZ.
So come on over.
Your fellow HOG,
Bob

Bob,
Welcome to the wallow! Looks like ole Pooner gets the demerits...In fact he will be double gigged for keeping quiet and not being in attendance!
I have crawled all around your PV in the past...If ever I had seen an aircraft you could eat off of....I couldn't get over the amount of attention that your bird has...cleanest wheel wells of any Poon in existance!
Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately I will be in the Far East, that's anywhere east of St Louis...I'll get on Robert though!
For some reason, my slow home computer will not allow me to get onto your website...Would love to see some interior photos of your PV. Is a flight up-coming soon? There should hopefully be a 6th Harpoon on the field by the end of next month!
Looking forward to meeting you,
Gary

Well.... you really need to get into the website and see those photos..We decided it too cold to do a run today so you still have time to hop a jet and let your presence be known. 57 degrees here...wow! what a bunch of wimps...But we do have clear skies and lots of sunshine.
You probably already know during WWII the brits nick-named the ventura (The pregnant Pig)
