We have a Grumman Avenger that flies every Sunday (in summer) out of Peru, IL. This airport is only a mile from our house, so we get to hear the beautiful sounds of a Pratt 2800 thundering overhead weekly. I always loved big radials, can't get enough of their sloppy idle.

Great video, thanks for the link Codpiece.

 

In back of my house is a small regional airport. Most of the time I hate it because of the noise, but at times I love it. Last week in San Francisco was fleet week and a large part of the show (besides the Blue Angeles) was vintage war planes. They always use my little airport as a staging and practice area for the show so I get to watch and listen to all of them buzzing my house for a couple weeks every year. The P51's in particular makes the pictures on the walls rattle as they make a low pass. Until a few years ago we had an annual military show with modern jets and they would have very low fly-by's with C5A's and B52's. Talk about loud.

Surprisingly it hasn't. Yes the daily traffic gets old but every time I hear a vintage plane come in I run outside like a little kid at Christmas.

Once in awhile we get Navy F18s flying into and out of the airport. Usually higher ranking officers that come for a weekend of golf while they also visit the facilities in the area. When they leave they dont quite go over my house, maybe a mile or so away, but once they are over the ocean they love to pour on the gas.

Oh, and I'm wrong. It's powered by a Wright-Cyclone 2600. Pratt's, Wrights....once you get a couple rows of cylinders, they start looking alike to me.

Very Nice Post...

Last Summer while working next to the Ocean here in Ct. I heard the Growl of vintage aircraft.... I rushed outside and saw 3 Mitsubishi Zeros flying in a low formation over the house...

What a thrill...

Guys, this is a cool aviation picture website and forum. I have been visiting for years. Although predominantly commercial aviation, there are a lot of cool warbird pics. You can search for anything here!
