Also, Precious Metal with the Griffon engine and counter rotating propellor installation has a pretty unique (and awesome) sound.

Status: offline 		I was about to run an engine on the test stand in my back yard yesterday when I heard a distince sound. I looked to the south and made out a Spitfire!. Wow! it was not full on, just cruising but it was easy to distuinguish that 12 cyl RR. I had to take a moment to let it fade away over the horizon. I also had a Zero fly over just last week. I have not heard of any airshows except the upcoming Thunderbird show at Maxwell in June I think.
