Good Sights and Sounds

Absolutely beautiful!! It just doesn't get any better than that. The sound of 11 Rolls-Royce V-12s(can't forget the Griffons) at once, just awesome!!
Too bad when you go to an airshow, you couldn't just hear the engine sounds and not the continuous banter of an announcer, or worse, the soundtrack from the movie Top Gun played way too loud. I know they're just doing their job, I guess you have to keep the kiddies entertained. I often wondered if they could toy with the idea of a (large?) section of seating or viewing area where only emergency broadcasts could be heard. Or does anyone else see the need? I always figured if you had a copy of the schedule, and a good program book full of the info on the aircraft, what more could you need? Am I way off base here, does anyone else have any thoughts? I am glad to see Youtube and other sites posting all of these airshow vids. There are virtually endless show segments to watch. Cheers!

I beleive the Griffons are Rolls as well so you were correct with your statement of 11 RRs in the bunch. What a fine bunch of airplanes, thanks for posting. That site does a good job with aviation videos.

We always go to the pits end of the field at Reno, no speakers just raw racing noise! You can tune into the 97.7 fm radio station if you like to hear the play by play from the announcers...just make sure you have headphones so you don't share with the rest of us.....lol

Re: Have some fun with this

My thanks also to the OP for putting up that link. Seeing that big formation with all of the fighters and the Lancaster go by, I thought of Churchill's quote:

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

Truer words were never spoken...nice to see all that history still in the air some 60+ years later.

Re: Have some fun with this

Got to get as far away from those stinking speakers as you can. I , too, just don't get the idea of music playing over airplane noise...don't make no sense...
