What sounds better?

[Guest Glenn]

Here's that old debate again. What sounds better, a jet or the sound of round?

 

To help you make your decision here are two sound files I found.

 

Sound of round (radial engine) - A DC-3 fly by - http://avanimation.avsupport.com/sound/DC-3.wav

 

Jet engine (airliner) - An airliner passing - http://avanimation.avsupport.com/sound/Jetpass.wav

At least you can stand right next to a Radial Engine and not get blown away.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Ooh it's equal at the moment folks! :lol: I have to confess, I chose jet this time. My heart's there. Not that I don't like the sound of round. "Where's Johnny"? "Aah, he was just standing near the intake" :shock:

Oh you've upset Chainy now. Your on his to have a ""stern word with list"" :shock: :lol:

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

:lol: :lol: Can't always make everyone happy. :D

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Mr Masters, you are being watched! I just can't believe you of all people would choose 'that' option.

 

I'm thinking of adding 'that word' into the banned word list.

 

You have now made a lifelong friend of Toddy and Matt.

 

Glenn, Chopy and I will stay the course.

 

;) heh heh

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Jet jet jet :lol: Feels good, almost like swearing

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

You just wait till you have to deal with the ATC at my property. You will in holding pattern for an hour, and those landing fees! Also you'll have to try and deal with the ground crew (rednecks).

 

Darren have you heard about 'Chainy's Canal'? Maybe some others here will fill you in. I think you now qualify LOL.

 

;)

LOL :lol: I really am not sure I want to hear about that one. Sounds very frightening (maybe fun for some) :lol: Re your ATC at your place, I emailed you something re that. Not sure if you got it.

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Yes I did mate, sorry I havn't replied earlier. At the moment I'm not sure if I have landed or still flying.

 

I'll try and reply later...promise :)

It's no dramas. When you have time mate :D No rush.

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

More votes for the sound of round :lol:

 

I wouldn't like to try and land at your property Chainy, not a lot of level ground. Unless of course you were in a helicopter.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Unless of course you were in a helicopter.

Or Aerochute. :lol:

 

 

[Guest David747]

Hi Darren.

 

I also voted for jet engines!

 

David...

 

 

[Guest rrudd]

Nothing, but nothing can beat the sound of the radials being run up for mag checks, on a DC6 and then all four singing the song of the sky as they thunder off down the runway!

 

Ah dreams of yesterday!

 

The old Fella.

Good fella

 

A very astute person you are :)

 

 

[Todd M]

You can all guess where my vote went, well those who know me do! Its not that I don't like the sound of round, I just prefer the Jet Engine! I Have chainys canal in sight, but I am sure I can keep out of it long enough :P

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

There is starting to be quite a queue there (the Canal).

 

Glenn I'm going to need your help keeping them in line before I say 'cleared for takeoff' heh heh

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

I'll be there and will gladly give them the thrust needed to launch into the canal.

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Let make sure they 'rotate' heh

 

 

[sixtiesrelic]

The sound of round is great!

 

There's the sedate moan of the DC3 passing overhead.

 

The more business like growl of the Caribou DC-4 and Convair.Even the shakey jake's sound good, BUT, what about a Merlin!

 

don't they make the eyes water?

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Den, I also love the sound of a Double Wasp. That raw horsepower! Lets also not forget a BF109...yea

 

 

[Uncle Chop Chop]

Now your showing your age Chainy :lol:

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Nah...one of my passions :)

 

I am quite interested in both World War planes.
