Already posted in 'Air Racing, etc.' forum since it's closer to civilian than warbird oriented

Interesting!!!!!!

I get the feeling that something is up. Why recover these engines for museums??? I find it ironic that just LAST YEAR engineers pulled the most complete engine from a museum and put it on a test cell and RAN IT!!!

Sounds like something is in the works!
Here is the test run.

Playing devil's advocate, the space race was definitely part of the Cold War, so I suppose the rockets could rightfully be considered warbirds. 8)
