The four engines are not spinning at the same speed, so are not synching the same way with the fixed framerate of the camera.
The Wright Cyclone R3350-24WA engines only rotate counter-clockwise (when viewed from the front). The propellers on the port side are not spinning in opposite directions from those on the starboard side.

Funny how the thrust at idle can turn the entire aircraft around its vertical axis, until symmetric equal thrust is established.

That was a very cool video. I think it is great to see the old bird still flying.
-
Why don't all you crack babies quit arguing & just enjoy the video clip...LOL
can anyone tell me how old or about how old that aircraft is?

What a magnificent machine!
Imagine what could've been done with the mighty Saunders-Roe Princess flying boat, had the Brits just mothballed it until the right job came along for it. The Royal Jewels should've been sold to preserve it.

@sp1tf1re1936 Well, on 4 or more engined aircraft, not a lot. But on twin engine aircraft, C/R engines eliminate the "critical engine" factor. That is to say that because of various aerodynamic effects, the failure of one engine will result in performance that is degraded in comparison to failure of the other. There are several lengthly explanations on the internet and as a former shuttle commander, you should be able to find them. So there you go!

Good to see the old bird still in service! Thanks to her work in '07, helping old 'shake-n-bake' So. Cal with the fires!
She was really something to see at Lake Elsinore!

@ljsavmech Really? Again? You don't know when to quit. MIT offers just about every kind of engineering program there is, especially common programs such as aeronautics. In fact, the first Phd in aeronautical engineering was awarded to Jimmy Doolittle before WWII at MIT. CHECKMATE. Shall we keep playing?

Well I'll be damned!
Yes, you guys are right, they all do spin the same, but as I was looking thru the viewfinder, it gave the appearance of engines going opposite to each other.
OOPS!
