B17 engine starting

[trainguy3]

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THREE ENGINES!?!?

[apatheticempathy]

Sadly, this b-17 crashed and burned in ILL  June 2011. Its GONE ~

[logoxyz]

@apatheticempathy, the tail number on the crashed plane is different from what was on this plane back in the 1990's when this was shot. Tried to document this with links but YouTube won't let my post go through--I'll try to work around the problem with separate posts following... BTW, reports are "no serious injuries" from the accident, but the plane involved is destroyed...

[logoxyz]

May not be the same plane! YouTube won't let me post a link to it, just google b-17 crash 2011 and look under Images--the tail number shown on the crashed plane is J 297849 0. On my uploaded YouTube video--again, couldn't post link, just open YouTube in a separate window and paste this in YouTube search: B-17 taxis in Millville Airport in Southern NJ, sometime in the late 90's to see the same "engine starting" b-17 taxiing back in 2008, tail number shown at 1:44 is K 297400 E

There's not a a sound in the world that comes close to the throaty roar of an old-school radial engine.

[offspringfanman96]

i thought it went 3421 not 4321

[cartuner555]

@offspringfanman96 it usually does... I don't think it matters really though. Engine 3 has the compressor I believe

[firstwave2]

Look at the contrails its making-Amazing'

[EnterpriseXI]

isn't the third engine usually started first?

[skyknightsmusic]

@EnterpriseXI yes ... the standered sepuence was 3,4,2,1

[rockdoon2]

i thought the start up sequence started with 3 then 4 then 2 then 1

[BoberMcBoberson]

Hey! Thats The Fuddy Duddy! I used to see him all the time when he belonged to a Museum in Upstate NY near where I live.

[ewtng]

Those were the good old days of flying dude !!

[1949man]

Call the EPA--love that pollution!!!

[jgstargazer]

@1949man Good thing Al Gore was'nt around during WWll.

[kirkconway]

I was listening to the 1820 cyclones on B-17's and i know it wa sthe same engine as the grumman duck and albatross,and F-3F biplane but the 17 has all the muffler shielding and different blower on it ,

I thought it would sound a little like the F-3-F or albatross but it cant as the shielding and different blower muffle it somewhat,

[blueflame53]

nothing comes close to that sound

[YTM021807]

@blueflame53 The B-29 or Super Constellation

[cole123456789999]

is this memphis belle i love sein these old girls roaring to life such a beautiful sound

[salemcripple]

it's probably the "Aluminum Overcast"

[jconnor55]

@salemcripple That's Fuddy Duddy, I've had 17 flights in him while volunteering for the National Warplane Museum. He has since been sold :-(

[salemcripple]

@jconnor55 Wow! Lucky.....

[ad356]

@jconnor55

yup and the national warplane museum went defunct. i'm a member of the 1941 HAG that is now in geneseo in the former place of the national waplane museum. i was a member of the national warplane museum. that museum went to horseheads, ny and then went under a few years later

[jconnor55]

@ad356 The downfall of the NWM was it's management. I loged over 3,000 volunteer hours in less than 3yrs. and was treated like crap by the then Director's wife. I love the WW2 aircraft, I was a member of CWH BEFORE I joined NWM.

I have been trying to make it up to "Genny" for the show but the advertising for it down here is no existant.

Hats off to 1941 HAG for going forward and making it happen!

[blowingsand]

mmm mmmm mmmmm, such a yummy sound

[100thbombgroup]

Thanks.

I could listen and watch that all day.

I wish the filming was for longer.
