When I found this video, I was excited to watch it, and it started off great, but then you put that damn music on. I don't care about the quality of the engine sound inside the plane, when you play music to overdub the sound of a Merlin, it's like having sex with yourself....NOT SO GOOD.

@pipcop I still love the sounds but does not sound the same with the canopy closed.

turn the music off I want to hear the engine.

[anytimeradio]

@greencatish agreed but you can't hear much once the canopy is closed. Nothing like hearing the Merlin humm

Imagine being 19 and going to war in those things. Respect for our greatest generation.

I recognize the back of Dan Vance's head there. We both did our training at the same time in Santa Rosa.

I asked a unlimited pilot if he runs at full throttle for the entire race and he replied " it matters who is behind you."
