I wonder what it's like living in Burbank at a time when the 727s and BAC 1-11s where taking off from Burbank Airport. 727s and BAC 1-11s were among the noisiest aircraft around with the BAC 1-11 being the louder of the two.
A BAC 1-11 taking off with its unhushed Rolls Royce Spey engines in full take-off power could wake up the dead for miles around, figuratively speaking. Extremely deafening!! Truly a Stage 1 aircraft.
the people who work at area 51 would be the luckiest workers in the world! They get to go in a plane every time they go to work and they get to work in a top secret project
I like the former Aeromexico DC8-50 I presume parked over at Burbank Aeronautical for a Hushkit fitting. Funny that DC8s or 707s never used BUR as a destination airport, but were regular visitors for hushkitting.
Darn it, I miss those low bypass jet engines. The JT8D P&W engines, the Rolls Royce Spey engines, you name it..
But, of all the commercial planes Burbank or Bob Hope Airport have accommodated over the years , I'd say that the BAC 1-11 was the noisiest upon takeoff, bar none. That plane taking off was like 3-5 MD-82s taking off at the same time. It's that LOUD.
Sadly, most BAC 1-11s were retired from service due to noise restrictions.
Burbank Airport seems so quite these days with the majority of airliners haveing high bypass turbofans....A BAC 1-11?! That plane must have made one heck of a racket on takeoff.
@ockteby hats correct and her name is JANET.... Goes to and from SKUNKWORKS (Burbank ) and Las Vegas to "You know Where" ;-) ALSO make note on Title and TAGS because this is NOT Western Airlines as indicated....great vid btw
great vid Ryan Which aircraft and airline you can see behind the DC-3?
The bac 1 -11 is a private operator? Bac 1-11 is only memory for me . I saw a lot British Airways British Caledonian, Tarom (ROMBAC)

Excellent. I was wondering if the 737 was flying in and out of area 51? :-)

They always "file" for Tonopah, NV but the pilots seem to always get lost and land at a location where there is absolutely NO airport :)

I wonder if that 'Janet' 737 was transporting Lockheed workers between BUR and Area 51.

I don't know but he rotated at the 2,000ft marker which leads me to believe he wasn't flying for more than 45 to 60 minutes.

@RyanBomar Or if they are coming out of McCarren they typically file for Desert Rock, and they do it all VFR to avoid a paper trail

@RainbowManification you can actually fly to Area 51 in FSX--There's a mission that allows you to do that.
