[Leica] Airplanes for Jim (and others too)

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi Barry,

Nice view, though I'm sure my wife would disagree.  I have to drive a couple 
of miles to get something similar.  The T-28s are showing up more frequently 
lately.  When I was at Wright-Patterson AFB in the early 50s, the USAF was 
doing a concentrated time-accumulation project on them.  Many of the pilots 
on the base went down to the flight line to take turns  running up the 
hours.  The engine/propeller sound is quite unique, with a sort of rattle 
similar to the USAF B-25.
