Sorry for the crappy pic, but all I have is a little powershot. They're giving rides at a little local airport this weekend, so maybe I'll get a better shot.
Can't mistake the sound of those big radial engines.

Cool. ETA: My great uncle flew those in WW2. IDK how often it will be up tomorrow. $400 per person for a ride in this economy is going to be a hard sell. 
If someone wants to donate $400, I'll be glad to take some more crappy pictures from inside the plane tomorrow though.

Very cool. My uncle was a navigator in a B-25, was shot down over Germany and spent two years in a German POW camp.
The Germans treated him and his buddies well and with respect. Go figure. |

Great pic. When I was a kid two of them flew directly over my house full throttle at barely a few hundred feet. Sounded like a locomotive coming down the street.

An excuse to post another picture or two!

My FIL flew on those in the Pacific in WWII.
He is still kicking... |
