Seeing those big radials come to like with the roar of the exhaust, the sound of big props chewing into the air, and the underling mechanical noise of engines was an experience you don't get with jet. And I was standing there thinking of my father. It seems that a little known effect of WWII aircraft engines is they generate pollen, lots and lots of pollen. <br />Great to read you again!

Uncouth varmints.<br />Got your books, but discovered a deep reluctance to read about Barkley so soon. Been reading your blog for some years now, and his loss touched me as if I knew him in real life. You paint scenes with words so well, that one could almost step into them.

Night across the socal desert. <br />No moon, between active bombing ranges with flairs popping on both side. <br />I wanted a 3 in the worst, still do. <br />My flight instructor was one of my dads co-pilots.

Hopefully, in the future things will calm down and I can make HOTR live again but truly appreciate Borepatch and company welcoming me aboard. And yes, there will be a book about flying, but only on retirement, after 3 books in 3 years, I'm taking a breather and concentrating on my Dad as he enjoys his last days.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-3323593419107101392017-02-11T19:36:29.011-05:002017-02-11T19:36:29.011-05:00I have missed youI have missed youTewshoozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564577459982968771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-23165948614924894382017-02-11T19:26:08.353-05:002017-02-11T19:26:08.353-05:00Watched a DC4 land, unload and take off a couple o...Watched a DC4 land, unload and take off a couple of years ago in Alaska.
