I love big radials...

A common affliction around here, I think. That Sea Fury cowling setup does not make it easy to work on the engine.

I don't remember the details, but "Super Chief" had a different kind of Centaurus, with a 4 blade prop.

Changing 56 spark plugs with all that stuff in the way (there's another layer of baffles that has been removed here) would make for a very long day

These are from a show at Minter Field, north of Bakersfield, California, in the summer of 1986. There were a bunch of active Centaurus Furies in California during this period and they all tended to flock together.

More from that show. California's central valley is a pretty desolate place.
