See and hear one of the classic Pratt & Whitney engines of this beautiful Douglas DC6 start up at Lelystad airport. I made this short flick with my "still" camera's movie feature. It was during the "Giants of history fly-in" at the National Aviation Theme Park "Aviodrome" on 02 September 2007. Love the awesome sounds of those historic piston engines!

  • I love it!

  • I have two more short flicks of the same plane starting it's engines up and taxiing to the runway. Will try to post them next week, hopefully.

  • nothing like the sound of an old plane's piston engine..thanks for posting

  • Yeah, all the smoke (at start-up), sometimes even a few flames, the sound...would love to travel back in time and do some spotting at a major airport in the 1950's...

  • Great i would love to see this fly,we have a connie here in Sydney and she sounds brilliant on takeoff

  • I've once witnessed a Connie engine start-up and still remember it! :-)

  • Isn't it GREAT? When I was a little kid, this sight was a common as a 737 or A320 today. But to see this in 2007 is SUPERB !!!
