Kleine Brogel the howling sound of the J 79 engine !!!

[will4ward]

Sad about all the accident deaths on take off and landing, seems that Lockheed could have learned something from the F86 (6/3wing) and increased the size of the wing or put canards to increase lift!

[J79GE19]

The Sound of Freedom !

Thank You

[routan1]

The howl you hear (for instance at 2:55) is actually the BLCS blowing compressor air over the flaps.

[jeoverv]

@routan1

It is actually the simple event of two differing airflows coming together and causing a whistle! What we have is two airflows, one heated and faster from the engine, mixed with a slower and cooler airflow, from around the engine, forced out through the exhaust. The result is a whistle. Some call it a howl. What it really is, is J-79 installed in F-104. The howl is different in the 104 from the F-4 due to the differing amount of bypass airflow.

@jeoverv I see. When were TDY to Rammstein, the Luftwaffe pilots would slip up on you when you were on the ramp working and give it a squirt of power and make it howl. They really got a kick out of it. I asked one of the ramp rats what it was and he told me it was the BLCS. I stand corrected, (as does he, apparently). So be it. Thank you sir.

@jeoverv

...and Mike Vivian would know - a fellow F-104 jock with my dad and truly a great man. Can't imagine anyone knowing the Starfighter better'n him.

[willemstarfighter]

yes it is music in the air .

[Bigfunkytown]

love that sound.

[willemstarfighter]

Hallo ja ik had toen die dag in oktober 2000 wel mijn best gedaan om er iets moois van te maken ook in de wetenschap dat de starfighter 4 jaar later bij de Italianen eruit zouw gaan .

deze kisten komen van het 4 stormo en dat veld ligt bij de stad Grosseto . In oktober 2004 was daar de laatste afscheidsvlucht van deze gaven bakken met hun gejank .

jammer dat het afgelopen is nu vliegen ze daar met 2 squadrons eurofigthers .

[superskullmaster]

This video owner needs to shut the fuck up we get it you like the starfighter.

[1ofDawnmist]

@CodenameWhistler00 Actually, the J79 was in a planned budget variant of the Fighting Falcon. A prototype was built and flown, but it never caught on.

[willemstarfighter]

Ready fore a new mission you mean .

the starfigthers of this squadron 20 gruppo are the boys to learn other pilots

how to fly this nice bird .

they came from Grosseto a city laying in the norht of Italy .

I have visted this airbase once in 2003 and in june 2004 .

now they flying with the eurofigther there by 2 squadrons : 9 and 20 gruppo .

but give me this awsome TF-104GM with his howling sound .

there is nothing better than this aircraft in my opinion .

[telosfd]

Ready fol long range trip.

[1ordequis]

I like the venerable ole 104 whats funny is its flight characteristics are similar to the F16 which replaced it after the Phantoms where decommissioned in US service

[willemstarfighter]

yes thats right in my opinion the 2 seater is the most beautiful version of the F104

and furhter the J-79 engine that produced that nice sound .

the starfighter is the best to look at .

[rc300xs]

LOL at the guy standing on the very top of the ladder. :-)

[willemstarfighter]

yes i filmed it because of the sound of the J-79 engine .

this sound is the best i ever heard of a plane .

normaly i maded pictures but i had bought a camera ten years ago to go to make

films about the F-104 .

I know that the air force of Norway used F104 by the airbase Bodo .

yes the starfigther is a very nice looking plane .

[Ahuxley68]

This is the soundtrack of my childhood.. I grew up in Lillestrøm Norway, near Kjeller airforce base, with all the heavy maintenance of the Royal norwegian airforce material, ranging from helicopters, c 130s to F 16s .. The fighter before the Fighting Falcon was the Starfighter, and I will never forget its howling sound:-) Thanks for posting.

[willemstarfighter]

this TF-104GM is the best/greatest in the air !!!

[Stover36]

This is the Merlin of the jets.

[trav1971]

I love that sound and these old warbirds!

[willemstarfighter]

Hello sir

this howl is only bij this kind of engine and that was the reason to film it at that time .

yes when this bird is in the air you hear also the howl .

it depends how much he used the throtte in the cockpit .

you like my films there with the starfigthers ?

you have to see mij films with this TF-104GM at Grosseto .

look at youtube by mij name .

[sanfranciscobay]

Questions about the howling sound.

What is the pilot doing to the controls to make the motor howl like it is between 2:50 and 3:00 minutes? Is the howl necessary or is it a method just to make a howl? Can it make a howl in flight? Do other motors make howls...?

[Helicopterpilot16]

@sanfranciscobay Watch my next video in about 3 hours, I explane the cause of the sound and what is happening! I've built models of the F-104 exhaust to show!

[itsjustme2919]

@sanfranciscobay yes other motors make howls. How. I am Sacajewea

[aldopeer]

@AgentJayZ: Right on the mark, man! You couldn't have said it better: the J-79 GE 11A is a goddamn hot-rod jet!

[willemstarfighter]

yes thats a long time ago that week there was a rotation with 5xTF-104GM from

4stormo/Grosseto/Italy . they flew missions with the F-16 from OCU .

this day was the best in my life because of the sound of the J-79 engine and the howling sound when they went in the air .

[Jaliya48]

Excellent video, wish I was there!

[JonMichael001]

I was an aviation machinist mate back in the early 1970s aboard the US carrier Independence. The J-79 was my favorite to work on and I will never forget the sound of that turbojet engine. I'm partially deaf because of my work on the engine test bed but I look at that as coming with the job. Excellent video. Thank you for posting it.

[willemstarfighter]

@JonMichael001

Hello sir

that is very nice to read that you worked with the J-79 engine .

my hobby is to collecting everything from the F104 .

and thats was the reason to film this stuff specially the sound of this incredible engine . I love it very much .

so enjoy all my starfighter movies on youtoube .

Willem.

[Jaliya48]

@willemstarfighter You've got a great hobby!

Cheers!

[willemstarfighter]

yes that was the reason to film this aircraft because of the great sound that the J-79 engine produce .

[Duke1822]

gota love the J79 somke tral

[willemstarfighter]

yes that howling sound is normal by this type of starfigther also the F-104G had this howling sound .

We fly here in the Netherlands from 1962 until 1984 with this aircraft .

[AgentJayZ]

I always wondered if that incredible howl was normal.

Now I can see that it really is.

The J79 is a real hot-rod of a jet, and you can't get much better than that!

[vladimir2366fa]

hi, the movies is excellent, thanks ★★★★★
