The sweet sound of a thundering herd of one Goat.
That deep bassy prop and radial roar is top quality stuff.
No doubt! I was super excited to be able to catch the takeoff. Cheers!
@@AEROWEPHILE The sound at 6:08 sounds like a distant diesel locomotive also.
@@supertyfon1736 That’s possible. I was too focused on the Albatross to notice at the time. I’m standing not too far from a road so it could have been a passing automobile. Cheers!
My dream plane used to be the P51, but I think I'd rather have one of these. Could take my friends to amazing destinations!
We had them in TVC for a long time. Loved them.
I got to ride along with Chief Greathouse flying as co-pilot on an ice patrol. Moon Morrison TCS 72-74
Thank you for catching the lingering sound as it flew away, most folks will shut the video off a few seconds after takeoff. Me , if I were standing there in person I'd be staring in space where it departed 5m after it took off 😂
Same here. I enjoy listening to the sounds these birds make and I think you see that in a lot of my videos. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
There are old piston engine planes still out there flying. You just have to either know where they are or spot one usually at a small airport. Those growling sounds on takeoff is music to my ears.
Not much of a aircraft expert but i sure love the look and design of these planes. Even the smaller goose is great its such an iconic classic design 👍
My father flew in these in the '70's in the USCG. I think this was his favorite airplane with the T-28 a close second. He and some of the other mechanics helped a privateer one time get one going that had been sitting. He said they used an absurd amount of Marvel Mystery Oil on that plane's engines which he claimed would not have been an officially recommended method of repair. The '70's...
Great story! Thanks for sharing it. Cheers!
Marvel Mystery oil is legendary within the aviation piston engine community
Oh my gosh!!!!! A bucket list plane to see! That’s so awesome!
Yes Sir! Very pleasantly surprised to catch it at TRI. Not many opportunities to get to see them fly anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
@@AEROWEPHILE literally prob my favorite video you’ve posted!
@@celticpride828 Thank you! If you ever get the chance, go to the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, TN. They have an Albatross in their hanger. It dominates the room. That, plus flyable P-47 Thunderbolts, Skyraider, and Trojan along with a multitude of other static aircraft make it a great place to visit. Cheers!
Wow! the sound when take off
It's hard to beat the sound of those R-1820 Cyclone engines at full power. Sound of a bygone era. Cheers!
