[@ivatt442]

@badgerbait8351 there were two F7F’s flying - a silver one and a dark blue one - which one Steve Hinton was flying I’m not sure? It looks like him in the silver plane, but he usually flys the blue machine!

[@ivatt442]

@michae which one? There’s two - silver machine first then the Navy Blue one which I think he normally flys!?! But it does look like him in the silver plane?

[@T4A4EV]

Thank you for listening to us all and removing that dreadful and completely inappropriate music - this is now a 'goosebumps' video, bloody perfect engine soundtrack.

[@AndreA-ke2id]

Gone from bottom to top of my list without the music. Appreciate you taking on board our views and re-posting 👏

[@chuckeberth4370]

Nothing better than the sounds of the radial engines. Great video.

[@KB10GL]

There is little to match a big radial sound. Particularly one with individual exhaust stacks as it is going away. They truly do make a 'round' sound that doesn't come through the speakers as well as it does in real life. Merlins also make a truly wonderful sound, as do Allisons, but the V12's are just a different part of the orchestra.

[@s2112p]

I know we all love the sound of a Merlin but, man, radials are just something else! That B-25 sounds incredible.

[@SempreGumby]

P40? ..the v12 in that plane was an Allison...and yes it is a good sound.

[@pascalnelson9034]

The sound of the engines and the slip stream noise is music to my ears. Thank you!

now that's an airshow! No vera lynn, no cosplayers, no stupid music or commentary, just ridiculously macho muscle planes beating up the runway! absolutely awesome!

[@sanseijedi]

The way it should be and NO talking from ground spectators, just the sweet sounds of the "round loud ones" in the words of a C47 pilot I knew. I'm very grateful.

[@Boscopcoletrain11]

Thank you for not playing Crazy Train through terrible speakers like they do at most air shows. We’re there for the planes, not production value so thank you.

[@Mike-01234]

Could hear that whistle sound not sure if that is the turbocharger, or some gunports on the wings making that noise.

[@Tacticaviator7]

@@Mike-01234 Supercharger you mean, I'm quite sure that would be it, since the gunport wheeze usually happens when the plane's flying at higher angles of attack.

[@Fulcrum205]

[@jonnybeck6723]

Inline V-12's and single and/or double row radials, circa 1930's to 1950's, buzzing the field at low altitude is the most delicious kind of music... Thanx Mark

[@georgemallory797]

I wish, when I was 20, that I had had more appreciation for what I saw at my first airshow. It was 1987 and it was the High On Kalamazoo airshow. They did a flight of all the Grumman "cats." The F-14 was straining to stay in formation with the rest of them and was at the height of its popularity. It's only in the last 18 years (since the Tomcat was retired) that I really have a true appreciation of what I saw.

[@scottfw7169]

And just think, LeRoy Randle Grumman was a USN Lieutenant who was talked in to resigning his commission by aircraft manufacturer Grover Loening and going to work for Loening. That 'LeRoy' is how Grover Loening spells the name in his 1968 book Takeoff Into Greatness. It is worth reading.

I always fail to comprehend why some tubers insist on playing irritating muzac as well as talking over the sounds that WE ALL want to hear! Absolutely magnificent display and captured beautifully! I absolutely love the sound of big fat radials! However, even though she's a Yank, Allison sings a superior note (for mine) in the front seat of the P40!
