Sanders Smoke Demo 10.13.17

Nothing like a low level waiver and a wingtip smoke system to get your blood pumping.
This was a demo the Sanders Smoke team pulled together for a recent customer visit. Dennis flew 924 with tip smoke while Brian gave commentary from the ground. It was awesome to have Brian call out power settings and airspeeds while watching Dennis fly the maneuvers. It reminded me of stories I have heard of Frank Sanders giving this same demo back in southern California when this smoke system was just being developed.
Awesome!! Thank you Dennis for a great show!
airplanes are cool

OMFG. That sound. So very cool. Oh yeah, the smoke is cool too.

[@gsxr1kmatt]

Aside from being one of the coolest airplane videos I've seen in a long time, I'm going to use this as a wake turbulence teaching tool!!

[@utopiasnow]

I am flattered!

[@victorvastel8028]

Eargasm and beautiful beast! Also great example of Crow instability. Nice shot!

[@Aviatr23]

This video catches the true heart and soul of aviation. It must have been amazing to be there. Everything was perfect. Thank you for this.

[@FlightChops]

That thing is a BEAST! Love it!

[@utopiasnow]

You gotta come out!

[@RechargeableLithium]

It's one thing to read about a wing tip vortex, but it's quite another to see them up close and personal! And...damn, what a beautiful airplane, what a beautiful sound, and a beautiful flight. Well done! (...check gear down; caution, wake turbulence...cleared to land...)

[@utopiasnow]

Awesome, thank you for the comment

[@vermasiddhu]

This is phenomenal! Definitely going to use this video for teaching Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics courses.

[@Cavalier1025]

Absolutely the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. And love the sound of the Centaurus engine. Kudos Eliot for an awesome vid.

[@utopiasnow]

Thank you for the note!

[@tomrisar5492]

Reno 1993 I saw these crazy smoke trails, the announcer talked about the story behind the smoke generators but can't remember now.

[@darkredvan]

Absolutely great! I do love the Sea Fury, the T20 even more. Nothing beats the Centaurus Power! (but itself, lol) Would love to take a ride. Thanks to the Sanders family for their effort to keep those birds flying.

[@utopiasnow]

We are fortunate for folks like these!

[@jbouza09]

Love that sound !!

[@brianmehaffy]

Best sounding airplane ever! Awesome video!

[@ke7cat]

For me the WWII ac sounds are the sounds of my angels. ...oh so sweet

[@TheSkyline35]

This is amazing, what a sound

[@utopiasnow]

Well spoke. Game changer.

[@badsanta69]

Just righteous! Well done.

[@utopiasnow]

Righteous....well spoke

[@Jawzzy]

[@flydad70]

❤

[@utopiasnow]

Thank you!

[@rahulpsharma]

How is that smoke generated?

[@alyciamarrison2916]

What is h composition of the smoke? & what a beautiful A/C!

[@utopiasnow]

The smoke is traditional smoke oil Thank you for the question!

[@backyardgarage912]

Is this Sea Fury powered by the Bristol Centaurus?

[@tomclark6271]

garagebandking41 No. It's a Pratt and Whitney R 4360... well in excess of 2500 HP, 28 cylinders

[@tomclark6271]

garagebandking41 No. It's a P&W R4360... Reno racer,

[@diyhost]

yes this is a Bristol Centaurus - not a 4360. 4360's have four bladed propellers and they turn the other direction

[@tomdavison9107]

Sea Fury!

[@scottfw7169]

How much battery current does it require to crank that beast?

[@utopiasnow]

All of it

[@scottfw7169]

@@utopiasnow Reminds me of the character of answer my late Grandfather W, a general aviation pilot in the 50s and 60s, might have given, "Less than it would have taken had it taken more than it did."

[@Diiima]

Can someone please tell me te intro song ? :)

[@Diiima]

Did research: "Mississipi" John Hurt - Corinna Corinna
