Walt ever watch the youtube video on the old planes they find in hangers stored for years
The darn things start right up with a little work
I happened to be a friend of the guy that ran the Red Hook WWI aerodrome. He found the "bones" of half a dozen ancient aeroplanes from the early-earlies in a big warehouse.

The Smithsonian glommed most of them, and he got the leavings. With which he put together four airworthy machines. One of them was so primitive, it had no throttle; the way you landed it was to line up on the grass runway and cut the engine. You could put the switch back on to correct your approach, so the plane would be making a brrrrt, (nothing) then brrrrt until the plane touched down.

He would put on a show starring himself as the evil Baron Nasty von Nasty, complete with archie-fire (cherry bombs) shot up at him. Ever kewl.
 
Gonna be a hot one here, too. Supposed to get up to a blistering 76 degrees. The lawn is still wet with dew and needs cutting. Hoping it'll burn off soon so I can get it cut before beer thirty. Getting thirsty just thinking about it. Air strike?
My problem is baby squirrelies. I haven't the nerve to assassinate a half dozen baby fuzzies.
