I’ve recently gotten into War Thunder, thanks mainly to the merry hooligans on the FliteTest YouTube channel. More on that eventually. For now, let’s just say that the early WW2 era planes, tanks, and boats I currently have access to in-game have me hankering for some classic sounds of big, round engines, and screaming V12 Merlins.
Some folks may recognize this aircraft from the Ice Pilots TV series on NatGeo. Regardless, it’s sweet to see and hear a DC-3 still working, not flying as a museum piece.
I missed when this happened, but man, this footage is gorgeous – in 2009, the Blue Angels and the Horsemen joined up for one hell of an heritage flight.
Finally, from last year’s EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh – a P-51 mass takeoff!
