That old tractor iron seat is a nice touch. Need a bit of extra oomph? Fire up the radial engine.
The tail gunner is going to have a rough ride though, no seat.
Happiness is a running radial and I hope that one is. Once upon a time (Team Spirit ’95 to be exact) I happened to be in the ROK transitioning the ROK Navy from the S-2 Tracker to the P-3C Orion for antisubmarine warfare/maritime patrol. Sometimes they would fire up the whole S-2 squadron and all those 9 cylinder R-1820 radials were a beautiful sound and I guess I’ll never hear that many radials all at once ever again.
