There was nothing more beautiful to the eyes, ears, nose, and butt when awakening my P&W R985 just after first light. The air was crisp, the water would be like glass with a hint of mist hugging the water.
It was as if each cylinder would wake up until all 9 cylinders were firing, but still struggling to come to life. After the motor is warm and increase power all 9 are singing such a sweet song.
