Anyone else heard....

[Bonehead]

I swear I have heard and seen a WWII bomber fly over my house the last day or two, no mistaking those big radial piston engines thunder. I think it was a B-17 flying from the northeast to the southwest. Anyone else ?

 

[RoseRed]

NASPAXR has been doing some flights.

TPS has a B-25 come in every once in awhile. Saw it last week. This week it looks like they have a H-34 in, can hear the turbine way before the rotor.

The Test Pilot School gets the fly the B-25 "Panchito" usually once a year. My guess is it's in town again.

One of the men who helps maintain Panchito is also involved with the restoration of Sandbar Mitchell.
I was one of the Kickstart backers.

No
But TPS has visiting aircraft to let the students experience.
They have had a B-25 and the Otter has a big radial in it as well

He said "radial", not "rod"!

I thought I saw two different ones yesterday, or the day before.. B-25 for sure.. but maybe a B-17 as well? Dual tail boom, v single tail.

Possibles...

If it was a smaller aircraft - OV-10 bronco

Larger, maybe a C-119?

 

[StevenMorrison]

I've never heard about it

B25 has two engines and B17 has four engines.
