I was out in the back yard cleaning and lubricating my bicycle, when I heard the far-off drone of five big radial engines. I knew by the sound - because there are no radial engines in modern aircraft - that with that many of them, it had to be the "Sky Typers." They consist of five WW II era North American SNJ training aircraft, and they have a computerized system that controls the release of smoke so precisely that they can "type" letters with very brief puffs of smoke. I used to see them a lot more frequently years ago, but it is always a thrill to see them pass over. Their message was advertising the Mohegan Sun casino, up Connecticut way.

Another wonderful learning experience about planes that I did not know. Very cool. I am surprised they would advertise the Casino in Long Island.

You still have a TV antenna on the roof? Can you get Bonanza & Leave It To Beaver on it?
