These kids will never know what it was like to fly fabric covered, open cockpit, radial engine contraptions with PROPELLORS! Heck, We used to take off every night overweight ... with snow up to here ... uphill ... one turning and one burning ... climbing out onto the wing to kick the ice off in the storm ... with the plane flat on its back ... and ... er ... flack so thick you could get out and walk on it ... cough ... where's my geritol ... ?
