The B-25 is my favorite warbird, an awesome aircraft. I'm working on a large RC version ,Executive Suite,hope to have it ready for Warbirds Over Iowa. It will definitely not sound as sweet as this one. Excellent video,awesome sound.
did they move out of KSEE to TEXAS or something??? we used to hear MUCH MUCH more old planes flying over when comeing back from stuff ''out east'' but hadn't really heard MANY old radials and stuff the last few years... sigh...
watching those big radial engines fire up feels so HUMAN. Other engines are ON or OFF but these need tender assistance to get going. and they sometimes falter, just like us humans getting started. then it kicks in, just like us. I can understand why so many pilots and engineers of these planes felt so close to their aircraft. There is just someting about them that their human designers passed on as characteristics to the users that made them special .
When B-25s were new, each cylinder had its own short exhaust stack. Most were later modified with a semi-collector ring that gathered the exhausts from some of the cylinders, but some retained the short stacks that give the unique B-25 sound.
I suppose it's safer than ducking beneath it with the propellers turning but i thought the point of wheel chocks was to hold it in place once the engines have started until you're ready to go
Nothing sounds like a B-25!!!!
A real privilege to fly in this sweetheart today, great footage Fred!!!
Glad you enjoyed your flight!
Great sound and great pictures...now if only I could feel the prop wash and smell the exhaust through the screen!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Joe. Yes, it was good to be able to record it in a non-air show environment.
Just beautiful Mr. Johnsen! As always God bless you and your family and thanks again for everything you do! God bless the USA! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
You are very welcome
In this color scheme she is graceful and beautiful to behold.
Yes! Thanks for watching and commenting.
It would be an honor, privilege and, needless to say, a great thrill to pilot this historically precious aircraft.
She looks and sounds great!
Yes! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sweet sounding! Love it!
Thank you! More opportunities coming up with the Reno Air Races...
my local airport had a B-25 there (Babrbie III) and during the summers the would fly really low over our subdivision. Very cool indeed!
Yes, I have enjoyed seeing Barbie III fly to Oshkosh. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Absolutely airgasmic. 😆
Great video👌👌👍👍
I never realized how this aircraft bristled with cannons. Especially forward facing.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I bet your large RC B-25 will be good to see in the air.
Once in a while there’s a B17 that flies around Wichita. I about break my door down trying to get outside to see it!
This thing sounds SO GOOD in person.
Yes it does!
Sweet!
Glad you enjoyed it!
And i got a tour of that thing too! Nampa CAP
This is in Arizona? Nice. Huachuca City, Arizona watching. Blessings of Jesus
Please see a history of these aircraft in SWPAC and the asskicking dished out at the battle of the Bismarck Sea.

Yes, it is interesting to watch a pilot starting a warbird, using finesse to get it right. Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting.
They certainly are some of the loudest non-jet planes at air shows! Does it have to do with the short exhaust pipes?

That's what brakes are for.
Gotta love the sound of gasoline (avgas) powered radial engines or power plants.🔋
The only thing that sounds better than a R2600 is two of them
Gotta love those short exhaust stacks. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Not exactly the comments we were making as those things would run up outside our BOQ window at 5:30 in the morning every day in Lubbock.
