Been out in the garage most of the day piddling. Upon cleaning up some I found my old binoculars and did a little bird watching. The local airport is very close by and I am right under the flight path. We have at least one B-25 and a B-17, C.A.F., hanger-ed there. When those big prop jobs lumber over the house at low altitude, wheels knocking shingles off the roof, you can't mistake the sound of War Birds. When there's an air show nearby it sounds like Pearl Harbor. Well OK not that many planes but you get the idea. I always loved the sound of prop fighters and bombers. I am way too young to have been alive during the war, but it always fascinated me. My Granddad was 4F, and worked at a plant assembling P-38's during the war. I did not get any pics of the planes today, too many trees , but I threw a couple of scrounged photos so the Kids will know what I'm talking about.........
