Now that, is awesome Doc. Long story short one of my regular customers is an old, rich WW2 enthusiast. He bought an active P51 after the war and spent all of his time cleaning and fixing it up. One day I went out to his house to fix his central heating unit to his house. Soon enough he started babbling about a project he was working on and when I asked he told. Next thing I know I'm staring at this beautiful metal bird.

Two years later he calls me up and says, "Hey, I'm taking her up, you want in." I drove Audi so damn fast the paint was peeling off. I'll tell ya gents. Everyone has their interests and hobbies. Delving into what you love is life's greatest gift. For me, I was blown away just by this most simplistic of actions. Climbing a ladder to the cockpit, sitting down in the cockpit, adjusting my belt and harnesses, putting on the helmet and radio, then listening to that engine start up.

Puff, puff, puff, puffpuffpuff, crack BBBBBBBROOOOOOMMMMMM BA BA BA BA! Watching the black smoke spew out and my buddy at the same time ask, "You good back there?! I'm going to start taxing this old girl!" I didn't have to respond, I just patted the back of his head to let him know I was ready. That was the best forty five minutes of my life.

As soon as we land and get our boots on the ground, my buddy looks at me and says, "she's old, but she still prefoms better than that 5,000 dollar whore I got for my 56th birthday." I almost went into cardiac arrest from that.
