[MrLukem14]

@emymares the RPM of the engine mach the FPS of the camera

If the R-4360 were the most powerful radial, R-2800 was -and still is- the coolest sounding one :-)!

[1977niek]

Nothing compares to the sound of Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines!!

Just listen to that "WHHHHOOOOAAAAAMMM" at 0:31!!!

Incomparable!

@1977niek For sure!!! Is a wonderful strange sound!!! A little out of phase! Is unique!!!! I'm from Brazil!

Nice video! I remember flying from Frankfurt, Germany to Maguire AFB in one when I was a kid in the early 60's. We stopped to refuel in Scotland and Gander, Nfld. I remember it was a long trip.

Jets are for kids.

Just great, how smooth that sound

[RailcarFerrostaal]

Great video, we had many of these dc-6 in Bolivia (we still have some).

[Billyothon]

Beautiful. My first flight was on a DC-6.

[RailcarFerrostaal]

HOw I miss this beautiful engine sounds. Dc-6 superb.

[mortdk]

The sound of a REAL aeroplane :-)

[principalsuspeito]

[Schmoburger]

Beautiful... just beautiful. :)

My favourite aircraft of all time... I love DC-6's and 7's so much that I have about 50 different variations of em in my FS9 aircraft library alone! XD

BTW, is that the DC-6 that Everts in Alaska operate on their fuel ferrying flights?

[SuperCubPA18]

Yes, Everts Air Fuel's N444CE.
