I need to fly these older military aircraft more often. I catch myself talking to myself going down the runway, "I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN !!"

But, not needed, eventually the airspeed will come and off we go! This big bulky aircraft will do a whopping 175-180 KIAS @

38" MP 2200 RPM, just got to be patient, you'll get there! :rolleyes:

Nice plane for sure. But I'll add to your comment, 175-180 KIAS and a ton of Avgas and also a ton of lube oil either burned or leaked and you'll get there.

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
