The crescendo sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlin/F-51 Mustang engine-airframe combination, then the roar and the fading sound . . . it brings tears to my eyes (I am not joking, and I hope I don't sound silly, but it is the truth).

Why? I grew up when Mustangs flew daily over my house in Guatemala, saw them in action, and was in the receiving end during a revolution, when I was about 7 or 8 years old.

It never fails, hard as I try to control my emotions.
