Thread: Have You Heard the Hum?

Pratt & Whitney P6 was one of the loudest of the time I understand. A pair of 50's are ear busters for sure.

Hard to believe that non-afterburning engine was louder than the J-79's in the F-4's and A-5's but it was. The port wing tip was just above my head when they turned up to launch. Everything in your chest was vibrating when that pilot shoved those throttles up to military. And then the bath in JP-4 from the drop tanks venting as they went down the cat was always a nice touch. LOL Seemed like they always launched the tankers off my cat. When those pigs took off, EVERYBODY all the way to the fantail got some.

Good times, I'd do it again.
