Troy,
The next time your at an air show pay special attention to the
original mustang during it's fly by or especially during it's dive.
Very similar except much louder. A friend of mine thats flown
everything but the sink including the mustang has told me that Gold
Rush has that sound... except much quieter. Maybe we should have
called it little tang!
See ya at RR!
