Love those Continentals and Lycomings, eh?  I heard a good description of a
Continental with electronic ignition: Same as a '55 Chevy equipped with a
modern CD digital audio system.  Still a '55 Chevy.  Clunk, grind.

I would be grateful for a '55 Continental (is their technology that new?),
but I guess we can enjoy the nostalgia of flying behind air cooled oil
sucking jugs throbbing away just like Lindy did crossing the Atlantic.  The
aircraft engine guys are providing us with living, breathing memorabilia of
times past, bless them.  Steam locomotive enthusiasts are not nearly so lucky
as we.  Think of the romance!  Think of the history!

Then go home, open the mail box, and think of the latest AD.  (And bring
money.)

F  (the romantic?)
