As I watch this in 2023, I say Wow. A real airplane and real flying. Not the glass panel sit and watch stuff of today.

It is interesting that we also flew to Liège about 20 years ago, but our type of aircraft is Antonov 12, and I really remember the flights of the Lockheed Electra freighter there ! Thanks !

I like listening and watching this with my head phones on cranked up. It’s a thrill to hear those radials, but would for sure be a head ache after you got over it. 😂😂 No wonder they wear the head phones. It would take me a while to get over that 😂😂😂

That is really neat, I am in my 20s and love aviation, many years ago I saw a p-3 once take off they are loud.
@arkansaswookie4 жыл бұрын
@@МихаилВишняковский I live on the coast in Oregon and back in the 80's & 90's it was common to see a P-3 flying fairly low down the beach. They were Navy flying out of Whidbey Island NAS on maritime patrols. It was cool when I'd be out surfing and hear them before seeing them. They currently operate 4 of them. Haven't seen one in a couple of years now. During the cold war though it was a common sight and sound. Even on foggy socked in drizzly days you could hear them overhead.

OK, dumb question....when they are getting the engines started, it sounds like one of them is kept at a higher RPM for awhile, and then the Captain brings it down once the other 3 are going (@ 3:10)...why is that? Thanks.
@cmfrancis15 жыл бұрын
They are using bleed air from the running engine to start the other three.

The sound at 5:16 is the Landing gear warning horn. They probably had approach flaps set (78) and retarded the power levers. The horn can be silenced before reducing the power by pushing a button on the F/O's side of the pedestal.
@cesardavrieux37673 жыл бұрын
Sí, fue al retrasar anteriormente la Potencia y luego "Landing gear down", porque el tren de aterrizaje no estaba aún totalmente "abajo y trabado" Se ven las luces rojas a través de las P/L (Power levers) derechas y, luego que traba el tren de proa (nariz/auxiliar) pasa de roja (unsafe/in travel) a verde (abajo y trabado) y se silencia automáticamente la alarma sonora ("bocina")

They are reducing the engine speed from Flight to Ground RPM, not shutting them down. We didn't put our hands over the shutoffs in 1966. Maybe they do it now in case of a governor failure.

Flying as a pilot is usually pretty safe. Flying very old airplanes like an electra is when the pilot's job gets dangerous. Anything can go wrong on an old airplane! :(
