    Everything from opera to hunting, diving to driving.

    On an aside, I bumped into this on the "toobs".

    Having been involved in aircraft all my adult life, I thought I'd share this.

    To those who don't know what a corncob is you'll probably go "ho-hum'.

    To those who have been there, the hairs on the back of your neck may rise a little ;-)

    Yep, to be on an airfield when one of these fires up and takes flight is an awe inspiring thing.

    Hats off the the men and women who keep these old girls airworthy!

    For our viewing audience, 'Corncob' refers tot the engines on this.
