“LOOK …………………………”

So, on Saturday I’m in the front yard raking the thatch, acorns and recent storm debris when :

I HEARD IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A sound a man never forgets……………………….

1700 horse power, radial engines !!!

 

 

I just barely had time to pull my phone out and get a crappy photo of the B-25 that was flying overhead before it was out of sight.

I did not know a bomber was coming to the airport.

I can not imagine what a 1000 of these in the air would sound like !!

I could not find any notifications about it so I am guessing that it was just making a pit stop on the way to the Oshkosh airshow:    B-25 Flights

I ended up raking a full yard waste bag of debris from the front yard, lots of acorns already and quite a bit of thatch.

On to the backyard.

I did manage to cut a few large branches from the mighty oak in the front yard.

I don’t have a fireplace but do have a nice backyard fire pit and this is good oak.

My brother’s little chainsaw makes quick work.

I don’t mind doing a lot of work by hand just for the exercise, but this would have been a bit much !!!

    I had the incredible pleasure of hearing the 4 radials from “Sentimental Journey” only a few weeks ago. They were at roughly 1500′ feet and headed in to land at KCAE, Columbia SC. What beautiful music they make.
