B17 engine starting

[@100thbombgroup]

Thanks. I could listen and watch that all day. I wish the filming was for longer.

Nothing like seeing these up close and personal! B-17, B-24, B-25, B-29. All are awesome machines powered by awesome radials!

Hey! Thats The Fuddy Duddy! I used to see him all the time when he belonged to a Museum in Upstate NY near where I live.

is this memphis belle i love sein these old girls roaring to life such a beautiful sound

[@erictheberry]

@offspringfanman96 it usually does... I don't think it matters really though. Engine 3 has the compressor I believe

[@logoxyz]

@apatheticempathy, the tail number on the crashed plane is different from what was on this plane back in the 1990's when this was shot. Tried to document this with links but KZbin won't let my post go through--I'll try to work around the problem with separate posts following... BTW, reports are "no serious injuries" from the accident, but the plane involved is destroyed...

[@YTM021807]

@blueflame53 The B-29 or Super Constellation

[@Quazclaus22]

@apatheticempathy this b17 did not crash and burn!! its at our museum down in orange county california!! Lyons Air Museum.. google it

[@ad356]

@jconnor55 yup and the national warplane museum went defunct. i'm a member of the 1941 HAG that is now in geneseo in the former place of the national waplane museum. i was a member of the national warplane museum. that museum went to horseheads, ny and then went under a few years later

[@EnterpriseXI]

isn't the third engine usually started first?

[@trainguy3]

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THREE ENGINES!?!?

[@rockdoon2]

i thought the start up sequence started with 3 then 4 then 2 then 1

[@logoxyz]

May not be the same plane! KZbin won't let me post a link to it, just google b-17 crash 2011 and look under Images--the tail number shown on the crashed plane is J 297849 0. On my uploaded KZbin video--again, couldn't post link, just open KZbin in a separate window and paste this in KZbin search: B-17 taxis in Millville Airport in Southern NJ, sometime in the late 90's to see the same "engine starting" b-17 taxiing back in 2008, tail number shown at 1:44 is K 297400 E

[@salemcripple]

it's probably the "Aluminum Overcast"

[@1949man]

Call the EPA--love that pollution!!!

[@jconnor55]

@ad356 The downfall of the NWM was it's management. I loged over 3,000 volunteer hours in less than 3yrs. and was treated like crap by the then Director's wife. I love the WW2 aircraft, I was a member of CWH BEFORE I joined NWM. I have been trying to make it up to "Genny" for the show but the advertising for it down here is no existant. Hats off to 1941 HAG for going forward and making it happen!

[@yamahonkawazuki]

i have one of these starting as my alarm clock sound

[@apatheticempathy]

Sadly, this b-17 crashed and burned in ILL June 2011. Its GONE ~

[@salemcripple]

@jconnor55 Wow! Lucky.....

[@sewerrat8]

I just want to be in it

[@jconnor55]

@salemcripple That's Fuddy Duddy, I've had 17 flights in him while volunteering for the National Warplane Museum. He has since been sold :-(

[@jgstargazer]

@1949man Good thing Al Gore was'nt around during WWll.

[@americanpatriot3638]
