What's the best sounding aircraft you ever heard?

B-1B, in full AB, wings back... just trying to hold it below Mach1
so he don't really blow your ear drums out..

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 cant say I'v ever herd it, but the Spruce Goose must have sounded
cool. 8 x 28 cyls = 224 cylenders. Thats 448 spark plugs or one
expensive tune up.

I would have to say an A-10 "warthog" coming in for close ground support
with the 30mm vulican cannon blazing. Then hitting the afterburners on the
pull out.

Amazing, and I sure wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of the 30mm
cannon.

The A-10 does have afterburners? Never heard of that. In fact, the
NY times reports in "The Hog That Saves the Grunts" (May 27, 2003)
that it does not have ABs. An example of bad journalism again?

The A-10 doesn't have afterburners...

Bah! I clicked on the General Aviation bit and my heart
almost skipped a beat when I saw "Scottish Aviation".
Unfortunately, it was the Twin-Pin (Twin Pioneer) rather
than the Bulldog. Ah well.

F4-Phantom.....one did a low pass at OSH a few years ago. Incredible!


Hiking in the desert in Southern Israel a few years ago, a pair of
earsplitting Phantoms flew directly overhead at no more than 2 or 300
feet (the proverbial 'what colour were his eyes' distance). After the
two passed, I covered my ears, and turned around. My hiking buddy
looked at me quizzically, and I said "second pair." Actually, it was
more like "second paWWWWWHHHHOOOOOOSSSSHHHH," as the other two F-4s
shreaked over the desert floor at the same altitude. 'Twas a great
experience.
