How long shall it take till these sounds are forever part of out past and will not be experienced anymore??

I have two more short flicks of the same plane starting it's engines up and taxiing to the runway. Will try to post them next week, hopefully.

Isn't it GREAT? When I was a little kid, this sight was a common as a 737 or A320 today. But to see this in 2007 is SUPERB !!!

nothing like the sound of an old plane's piston engine..thanks for posting

[jeroenalberda]

Yeah, all the smoke (at start-up), sometimes even a few flames, the sound...would love to travel back in time and do some spotting at a major airport in the 1950's...
