Thanks for telling me that, I'll put that in my file of dumb things to tell an AIR Force vet.

I guess you didn't see many radials in 1971. Then again, it depends if you flew 'em, fixed 'em, or played with the paper ones. Turbines made the whole argument moot though. My dad fixed 'em from 1942 - 1960. His bet, and the Navy's bet, was on the radial as being able to take the most punishment.
