You're right, but this day and age it's a ***** finding parts or a mech to fix those radials. I do a lot of A/C maint on my own plane and I'd hate to work on one of those P&W rads., especially in the cold. This plane still has lots of potential. Throw some rails and rollers in it and haul containers.

I've done some work with the local CAF branch. I guess I'm partial but I understand where you're coming from regarding parts for some of those old round engines.
Nevertheless, it's neat to see those goonies still flying
