I once got a 3 hour ride in "Sentimental Journey". This was at an
airshow in Colorado in the early '80s. Chuck Yeager was there (in a
wheelchair, kind of a step down from the X-1).

But those radials still don't have the sound of the Merlins. My Dad flew
P-51s, but hadn't heard or seen one since 1946. When one flew in to our
local airport in 1986 my Mom said he was up and out of bed standing in
the backyard in his underwear yelling "where is it? I know that sound!"
