Default Re: Will all Veterans please arise.

There is nothing like the sound of a Round engine. To this day when I hear one flying over head I go look to the sky and try and find it. Love that sound. I have two CD's with nothing but Round Engine sounds. Love it. I wear a leg Prosthesis and have a special painted cover for it when I wear shorts. Painted sky blue, white wispy clouds, a C-124 flying across the sky, Royal Crest from my base in England (RAF Mildenhall), US air forces in Europe insignia on it, and the new USAF insignia. (Couldn't find a PIC of the old Insignia for the artist to copy.) Not another one like it. It was made especially for me. If I knew how to post PICs I would post a couple. Loving the sound and looks of the old piston engined Air Craft is pretty good since I was trained as an Jet Over two Engine mechanic.
If someone that knew how to post PICs on here I would be glad to send you a couple of PICs of my prosthesis leg socket cover. I think some would be interested in seeing it I just don't know how to do it.

X2 on those engines. Our work took us near or on the flight line some and all work stopped when one of those polished aluminum piston powered beauties taxied by. What a thrill. Same feeling as watching and hearing a giant steam locomotive on the move.
