Old Aircraft

Back when I was workin in the Fire dept on the Airport there was a few civilian planes around. Some old warbirds were there. One guy had an old P40 and another had a P-51. They always needed maintenance Or they looked that way..but there was nothing that sounded like them. Those big ol engines just had a sound to them. When I first started work there the Ol Connies were still being used. Neat old airplanes. Down in Greybull Wy there are a bunch of old military stuff. Some I have flown(like the flying boxcar) and some I would like to. They even have a PBY down there. Those things are getting old now. But they were workhorses in their day. Some of the Boxcars even have JATO on them. Guess i just be gettin old. I'm probably gonna make it ol codgerism this year if I'm lucky
