I wonder why they dont re-engine these birds with Turbo-Props. For their mission, I would think the reliability and safety factor would be a big plus.
It's not the audio, the effective shutter speed is WAY to high, the blades shou;ld be a blur, to be life like. 1/250 sec. would have been fine, at ISO 200.
I have a 2004 Canon Powershot A75, which I set on "TV" @ ISO 200 and 1/250 shutter speed for most shooting. It varies the APERTURE for exposure control.
like my 1972 Konica AutoReflex T-3 35mm SLR.... I AM looking for a DSLR, Canon or Nikon, from about 2004, second hand and CHEAP!! From Chicago Thrift stores I missed a EOS for $10!
@375GTB Jesse- thanks for the clarification. I'll try your suggested settings next time I have an opportunity to photograph the mars. I no longer have the camera I used on the engine start but I now have a Canon power-shot S5 is. Oriel
@SpeedyNeutrino43 sorry about the noise of the wind across the point and shoot Fuji's unmuffled mike - I suppose when you see a moment of history, you have to accept the circumstances that ptesent themselves - in this case wind and a cheap camera!
@375GTB see @SpeedyNeutrino43 response (alternate response: my sound crew was in town filming a performance oi the Black-eyed Peas and I was left with the point and shoot - should I have missed recording these "humps?")
I am happy to see there is still a place today in aviation [ forest firefighiing ] for these magnificient machines with their nice sounding big radial engines long live the 3350 cu inche radial
I still cannot believe these huge aircraft fly so well with their seemingly small props.......nothing says sex like watching them take of from Sproat Lake, wish the BC Government didn't lease them to California for so long....when you see them fly over, you know the war on fire is nearly won, given the right conditions! :-)
these thing to see them in real life are just amazing and the in side of them looks like nothing the only reason i know this is my uncle flew them and matinanced them.
Modern aircraft may be marvels of aeronautical and material engineering, but this one has *soul*. Four giant radial engines, myriad moving parts and all, help.

oh damn I've seen a few photos but never a video. I have always though of this plane as to the spruce goose light.
The men who fly this beast are lucky and skilled beyond belief.

what the hell is all the roaring noise? It almost obliterates the sound of the radial engines....

The Mars' have R-3350s not R-4360s. One was built with the R-4360 but it was lost in an accident or a storm...

Turn the shutter off on your camera next time so the blades look like the way we see them!
Thanks for posting!

Camcorders don't have shutters... and even cameras that have shutters can't have their shutters "turned off". lol

I know the R-4360s are powerhouses but they still look too small to get such a large craft in the air.
