The sound of the radial engines is so sweet!

[@aviationwalkarounds]

It is super sweet!

[@ernyestrategias]

[@alejandrofunez9620]

That's an interesting video!

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Thank you

[@farizekakarma4601]

There's a lot of "bomb" logos on the left side of fuselage. Does it mean something capt ?

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Each one is a bombing mission completed in WWII, my friend

[@jjohnsonTX]

I think it means the Crew likes to get bombed.

[@SyncroLens]

@@aviationwalkarounds I notice one of the bombs painted with the others is larger. What is the significance please? Does it perhaps signify the very last mission?:

[@charlessedlacek5754]

Each bomb represents a bombing mission.

[@charlessedlacek5754]

Reminds me of yossarian from the movie catch 22.

[@aviationwalkarounds]

I know!

[@ernyestrategias]

What are you guys doing?

[@aviationwalkarounds]

They are getting ready to fly

[@Bryster51]

Grumpy never served in the USAF. 1. USAAF 2. RAF 3. RCAF

[@aviationwalkarounds]

So, USAAF and USAF are two diferent institutions?

[@aviationwalkarounds]

I researched the answer, now I know the difference. Thank you for helping me learn more.

[@Bryster51]

@@aviationwalkarounds indeed USAF didn't come around till 1947...Cheers

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Cheers Sr, and thank you again.

[@utahspredator5205]

That is an old bird!

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Yes, but it is in very good condition.

[@dronetheworld2971]

It must take a lot of fuel

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Yes it does, it has big engines!

[@Bryster51]

USAF? Really?

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Now it is Historic Flight Foundation

[@SyncroLens]

Not really - More the USAAF (Army Airforce)
