Could have been kamikaze zeros returning from Pearl Harbor.
Love Final Countdown.

Dunno. Sounded like radial engines. Friend told me there were about 6 - 8 of them at ECP the week before the airshow at Tyndall AFB.
Seemed unlikely to me. But I have no idea how many are still flying.

I was thinking you were going to tell us the Navion was back in the air.
How's that coming along?

Sounds like Tora Tora Tora Airshow flyers. Bunch of T-6/SNJ made up to look like zeros and others used at Pearl Harbor.
Cheers
My office looks out over the runway (as will the living room when we get that done). We designed the house to have the proper view (the hangar is around on the side).My friends make fun of me becuase when ever I hear an airplane I always run to go look
The guys out in Nebraska are fixing the wing and waiting for Continental to ship me a new engine.

I work with it (and 100LL) every day. Gotta say I like the smell in the morning. But not in the afternoon or evening which tends to happen if you get it on you.
I got to bring a GPU to the museum for FIFI and help them with landing gear cycling! And you know, go inside and look around and stuff.I bust out of the house whenever I hear round engines flying by. Occasionally I'm rewarded by the sight of FiFi flying over on approach to KADS.
Which is way cool.
Even on the ramp surrounded by planes and working right next to a runway I still look at every plane!My friends make fun of me becuase when ever I hear an airplane I always run to go look
Gotten to fuel up a C-47, A-26, F-80, you name it! And of course watch them all take off. F-18 and Harrier were parked on the ramp as well. Never a dull moment.Was working at the hangar the other day when a P-51 spent some time beating up the runway.
Cheers
