Your Sunday Morning Prop Noise

A DHC-4:

I occaisionally refueled at an airport that had a skydiving operation. One of their jump planes was a DHC-4. They'd pull up to the pumps, refuel and then use prop reverse to back away. There is a little bit of bad dope in the video, which I will leave you to find.

A P-2V:

Amazon Crash

An Amazon 767 ran off the runway in Miami this afternoon, killing five.

Five is a little more than the standard complement of a 767 crew, even with a jumpseat rider or two. I'm guessing that one or more people on the ground were killed.

I've heard rumors that a number of airports in the Midwest ran out of fuel, which has stranded a lot of would-be attendees.

The mighty B-17:

In "Masters of the Air", they show the crews starting #1 first. Maybe they did, but a guy who flew them a lot said they started an inboard engine first because they were closest to the aircraft's battery. Once an engine was started and run up enough to produce power on its generator, it was easier to start the others.

The Mk.18 was a postwar variant. It probably was optimised for paven runways.

There Goes Over $130 Million

All four crew members ejected safely after two Navy jets collided and crashed on Sunday during an air show at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in western Idaho, officials said.

The collision involved two U.S. Navy EA18-G Growlers from the Electronic Attack Squadron 129 in Whidbey Island, Washington, said Cmdr. Amelia Umayam, spokesperson for Naval Air Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

That's about the most expensive variant of the F/A-18. Glad both crews got out. But that ended a few careers.
