This came to mind when I heard a RAF VC-10K overflying my house at some 1000
feet AGL at full steam. What a sound! The VC-10 both looks and sounds
powerful. Also, the piston Yak-52 I heard a few days ago...unbelievable,
such a powerful and awe inspiring sound. The only thing I regret is never
hearing a DC-6 at full throttle; watching a documentary on ConAir
firefighting services today (on Discovery Science) I heard one pilot remark
that those 76 cylinders at full power sound 'like a Hell's Angels funeral'.


I've heard many DC-6 takeoffs and they don't sound like a Hell's Angel
funeral....they sound like several Hell's Angels funerals. G

Greatest sounding airplane is tough question...

B-17 flying over
Wildcat
Mustang

Those have a glorious sound.

The rest of the WWII fighters/bombers/etc

F4 Phantom - can you say loud

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
