According to Jimmy Doolittle:
The Springfield Union of September 6, 1932 quoted Doolittle as
saying, "She is the sweetest ship I've ever flown. She is perfect in every
respect and the motor is just as good as it was a week ago. It never missed a
beat and has lots of stuff in it yet. I think this proves that the Granville
brothers up in Springfield build the very best speed ships in America today."

If it's good enough for Jimmy, it's good enough for Miloch.
Bring it on!
