I flew DC-3’s in the early 70’s (Saudi Arabia) with an “ancient” guy who started in aviation in the early part of the 1930’s as a corporate pilot flying Beech Staggerwings.
They have a sound that is all their own. Center pipe is on one cylinder. right pipe has 4 cylinders and left pipe has 4 cylinders! That is where it gets it's bark!
What a fine memory, it took my dad Duane Burnett 20 years to restore N47D. I think it is one of the finest staggerwings around. GREAT !!!

Man, that has got to be the best radial sound I've ever heard O.o
She's gorgeous! Love these old birds. Dad had a Stearman back in the day.
The Staggerwing is one of the most comfortable easy plane to fly. It does what you ask of her!
Dude I can feel the wind when it turns over. Ahhhh ✌🏻
Lovely old aircraft! Where is this? what river is that?
Evansville, Indiana and the Ohio River

Great looking airplane. Do they still build double winged airplanes of any kind?
