Above The Clouds,
Heard her spiel in OZ; apart from the "terminolgical inexactitudes" noted by
maxred, a polished and persuasive performance. The gal certainly has "the gift of the gab" all right (or her scriptwriter has).
Did I really hear her say that her (?) Stearman could carry 6,000 litres of fuel? (Hearing not so good). That would be 1564 US gallons or 1014 lb to carry. Rather a lot for the old girl (the Stearman, that is). Must have misheard!
... I do like the sound of that engine though...
Tastes vary - prefer the dear old 220hp Continental I knew so well. Except when a plug blew out, you could hear the row in the next State - and it was rumoured that the vibration could cause the prop to sympathetically fracture.
Anybody like to comment on this ?
