Easing the throttle forward and applying rudder pressure to compensate for the torque the I 1710 engine develops, is just the beginning of the thrill ride. The tail comes up and the airspeed builds and then lift-off. Air born in the hottest fighter from WW II. North American Aviation in Los Angeles built a great airplane. I was lucky enough to have a friend who owned the airplane and I was blessed to get to fly her. She zooms.
After the flight my friends had to hold onto my leg to keep me from floating away. Great experience.

I don't like to fly. Maybe I'd feel different if I was the one doing the flying.
