I love the sound of a P-51 a bit more.
Wow, you could have a lot of fun with that recording in German retirement homes.
Everybody else- over here! Especially You SARGE;)
Part of the Off Season Withdrawal Thread therapy- High HP Engine sounds!
The old joke: What’s the propellers for? To keep the pilots cool. Watch them sweat when a prop stops.
“Wow, you could have a lot of fun with that recording in German retirement homes.”
ROFL! That’s just funny!
You know.....you got a little mean streak in ya (:]
At an air show I was nearby when they started a P47. At an idle it had quite a rhythmic rumble that was pleasing but on the other hand it was shaking the ground, me, and the air around me....HA
As kids, we found that putting a mike behind a fan created the same sound. We would record an adventure, using the sound, and just by snapping the fan frame it would sound like flak. Facing the fan and talking into the mike sounded like getting the message over the radio. After discovering that, we discovered the jet engine, it was made with a Hoover. We modified the sound with a wooden barrel and we had take offs and landings. Imagination and creativity as kids, where did it go?
Btt
.....; That's funny. What we did was took the muffler of a mower and fixed a makeshift megaphone on it to increase the roar......never understood why the neighbors disliked us...

Beat me to it. Nothing like the soothing chuckle of a big round motor at idle.
The sound of an AD-1 Skyraider in a dive can wake the dead.
I have the bomber engines and this going right now.

The Marines are also doing demo a few miles away at Quantico right now.
I’m freaking myself out here.
My hubby used to work in a a few airplane hangers down from the owner of the P-51 Pegasus which is now Wile Child. Bill Spears used to own it, who passed away at a Reno air race many years ago. He used to fly all them (he had 2 p-51s) the time, just loved to hear him fly over the hangar. Heck had a chance to go up and fly with him, turned it down. Sorry I did that.
Bwahaha!!!! Thanks for that post really needed a major laugh.
Too bad there isn’t one for a Boeing 314 Clipper or a Super Constellation!
