Watching "Strip the City: Dubai" and they show a wind machine testing window systems, Ill be darned if it don't look like a -4 Corsair cowl, 2800 and 4 blade prop. Any ideas?

Sounds allot like this one http://www.sandersaircraft.com/restorat ... anders.asp but this was long ago (and 3 blades) now owned by the Sanders and being restored back to flying condition. It will be nice to see another bent wing back in the air.
I would like to see pictures of the one you’re talking about.

I'd like to see it too - but I keep getting an error on the DiscoveryChannel.ca site when I try to play it. (Although the d@mn commercials play just fine :evil: .) Can you play it, hit Print Screen when the thing shows up, and save it in whatever photo app you have on your computer?
