Loved that show now I got to find it on YouTube.

Would you consider the dvd for a measly $17.99?

In '53 I was in C school NAS millington tenn --
There were several FG's used as guiney pigs for Mech training -
Not too much more miserable than on a cold, damp january morning changing plugs on a R2800. Banging your hands agaist the cylinder fins really smarts --
Incorrect priming on start-up produced some rather startling pyrotechnics engulfing the cockpit in smoke and flame ---
thanks for the memory -

One of my favorite shows. The F-4U is one of my favorite WWII fighters along the the P-38 Lightening and the P-51 Mustang.

My favorite heavy is the B-29 Superfortress.

My grandfather flew these and Hellcats during WW2. He preferred the Hellcat. He scored two zeros in a hellcat and laid a bomb down a Jap destroyers smokestack. Guys like him were awesome.
