You know its a good day,when...
« on: April 10, 2005, 06:00:23 PM »
You show up for work and your boss asks ya if ya would rather have the day off... as your leaving work  you hear the engine of a low aircraft nearby, and you know its not a Cessna or Piper...
ya look up and , and behold the wonderfull sound and sight of an F6F Hellcat at about 4k in a bank turn, WooooooooooT !
there was an older gent standing nearby me,
I said "Thats a Navy Hellcat"    he said "I know"  and you could tell it made both our days..

Add to that...saw about 10 or 15 60's era muscle cars on the roads, musta been a car show nearby today also.
Hearing a Shelby and Hellcat engine within a couple minutes of each other is pretty sweet

I believe some fortunate guy down in Livermore owns it, along with a Pony and some type of trainer, It flys aound my house 2 or 3 times a month   :D

lol Sweet cooly!

There's an airport near by my house where every once in a while, maybe 2-3 months at the least, a B17 and a 24 will pass over.

Its close enough to where I live that they are still VERY low when they pass over. Low enough to see the guns from the turrets. It really gets the blood pumping and the hair standing on end.

We also have A10s passing over quite often but for some reason they aren't as awsome to see as the big buffs.

And yeah, a hellcat and a shelby in minutes of eachother, thats cool. :cool:
