Ah, well a radial engine at it's best, for it sitting so long it started up really smooth actually, they usually are much more bitchy.

It should be a sin - if not a crime - to neglect that beautiful machine! Fly her, at least run her up more than once a year.

Impresionante el sonido de ese motor radial!!!

I had an '89 Ponnitak Bonneville that started up like that one time... Didn't shut it off until I got it to the junkyard. Not normal for a 3800. Beautiful in a R985. Keep it flyin'.

One of the most beautiful airplanes to ever grace the skies!

What a beautiful lady! How can you stay so long away from her?

I pulled it thru by hand about 30 blades before I climbed in in order to rid the lower cylinders of oil.
