Man, I wish still photos had sound so that everyone who views this pic could hear the throaty cough as the CAFSCW's Bearcat's powerplant windmilled ever so briefly and then, with a deep and satisfying growl at the instant seen in this snap, caught and raced up to a roar. The sound of aviation - pure music!
