^Now that's an old turbo

A lot of 17 and 18 year old young men took their last ride with four 1,200hp Wright Cyclones with those turbos.

My grandpa used to work on these engines when he was in the Air Force. He talked a lot about working on the turbos. He said that the turbos would still be spinning for a half hour after the engines were cut. He had a T-bird turbo coupe that he messed with that would hang with 911s and outrun RX7s in the 80s and he helped me install my turbo kit a few years ago. I really wish I had talked to him more about his Air Force days before he passed.

My grandfather used to fly the turbo'ed P-38 back in the war; I cant get him to talk much about those days though, understandably.

The new place is about a mile from the county airport, and these awesome relics flew right over head on approach! I could only imagine what several hundred would have sounded like. The above turbo was from a B-24 and they also had a B-17. I took the girls and they had a great time climbing all up in them. Never realized how tight it was in there... also had 2 P-51s, which also flew overhead several times :)

Just realized what that reminded me of. Cthulhu manifold.
