Silver Bird...
...was a common term in old movies I watched when I was a kid. I think it was used in Tarzan and other movies that involved primitive people living in deep, dark Africa. Well, here is a gen-yoo-wine silver bird that refueled across from my office the other day. It was built in 1959, and makes some very nice exhaust stack music. I watched it take off, and it used most of the runway, so I think it must have fixed pitch props.

Bet he departed to the North, headed for Oshkosh.
EAA Airventure kicks off next Monday http://www.eaa.org/en/airventure.
I was kind of surprised by the lack of smoke so typical of air cooled engines when starting.
