About Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles

---

If you are looking for technical information about historical Airplanes and Automobiles, this is the right channel for you.

My name is Greg, and I am a life long aircraft and automotive enthusiast, and I work professionally in both fields.

The aviation side of this channel has a heavy focus on WW1 and WW2 aircraft, although I will occasionally touch on jets. My automotive focus is largely on Italian cars and Muscle cars, but I like almost all cars. Since I have an all wheel drive dyno in my shop near Tulsa I will frequently use it in videos.
