Favourite aircraft engine sounds.

Post by **reheat** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 10:50 am

Hi all.

We have all seen and heard some wonderful looking and sounding aircraft over the years, and was wondering what everyone's favourite aircraft sound was.

Here are my top three.

No.3. Shackleton.

No.2. The Vulcan howl.

And at No.1. the wonderful Starfighter howl.

Loosely associated, I loved the sound of the Lightning being kick started at Binbrook years ago in happier days.

What's yours?

Easy..........a C-5A on back taxi on runway 11 at RAF Mildenhall while standing on the scaffold (as it was then) in Johns field at 22.30 as it spooled up. My eyes exploded, my ears bled and I soiled myself

but it was worth it
