Stout Airplane Company? Is that the name of the company, or a description of the product?
That's one of my neighbors in the right seat. He was a WW2 B-24 mechanic.
[Edit] correction...B-17 mechanic.
Beautiful downtown Marion, OH.
I live down there, just about even with the trailing edge of the tire, on the far side of the road.
The first flight of the day was supposed to be the VIP flight. Local news, the mayor, and a couple of WW2 Air Corps vets. I got there early enough and was the first "normal" citizen to sign in. They had an empty seat, so...:grin::grin::grin::grin:. It was supposed to be a 15 minute flight, but because it was full of VIP, it seemed to me more like a half hour.
I thought this was interesting. That is the RPM, oil pressure, and oil temperature mounted just above the engine. The engines are 450 HP each, and one requirement was that the plane has to be able to make it over the mountains with one engine out.
Got some video, which I will upload as soon as I can figure out how to use YouTube.
