When President Bush visited my hometown, his C5 support plane was landing. It was about 10 miles away from me, maybe 1,500 to 1,800 ft. high. The plane looked like it was trying to land in the road! The Pilot had to wind it up a little to maintain his altitude, and it sounded like it was right next to me! I was at Barksdale, and it was the same way. The only plane that impressed me more was the B1-B. With all 4 AB's lit up taking off, that was a sight to see and hear. My entire body was vibrating, and I couldn't talk nor hear anything else but the planes engines!

my dad was stationed at Pope AFB when I was born (born on Ft Bragg in 1971) and in the late 90s living in Texas (it was his last duty station after Pope), a C-5 was coming into land at the still open AFB nearby. He didn't even have to look up from his paper he was reading, once he heard it he said 'it's a C-5' and sure enough when I looked out the window, there was the C-5 on their final approach

"Distortion & flanging", is that describing the growl that sounds as if something is out of balance & about to break? It seems to me like some sort of resonance between the engines? If so, what else do you know about this phenomenon plse?

[@RCAvhstape]

Flanging is a sound modation effect which was invented by running a tape deck in a studio with one's finger lightly rubbing on the flange of the tape reel, causing the left and right channels to go in and out of phase with each other. So with multiple engines buzzing at almost, but not exactly, the same rpms, you may get a phasing or flanging effect.
