  • listen to them 985s talkin to ya lol

  • Those radial engines sound so good. It's a case where flat recip engines and turbines may be easier to operate, but that radial sound is so visceral that it makes it all worthwhile.

  • @Coderoid I correct myself. I saw a picture of a Beech 18 with sky divers on the left wing, and a man dangling by a prop blade from the FEATHERED left engine.

  • @Ayinger - Well said. An absolute riot of a noise.

  • Me thinks that losing a single engine in that bird would be fatal regardless of skill, given all the drag and extra weight. Does anyone think otherwise?

  • Would be nice to have floats on a twin Beech - but all that drag and weight!

    I bet you won't see Matt Younkin rolling and looping THIS D-18!

  • look at all them cubs

  • That could not have been done better. He got it to the dock perfectly.

  • fxdwings is the one wanted to know..,

  • FYI... The beech 18 floatplane will burn 46gph and will cruise at 127 kts. There is nothing fuel efficient about the beech 18
