That's just a magnificent sound! Forget turbines, piston engines of any kind will forever by my passion!

Love the sound of a older engine. Newer engines just dont have it. Thankyou for posting.

you have just gotta love radial engines. WHAT A SOUND that is not just an engine it is alive

GAWD what a sound... I never get tired of old round motors...

nothin like watchin a round engine belch smoke and fire and then finally come to life , and hear it run like a well oiled machine .

The sound of a sleepy Radial Engine waking up, there simply is nothing like it in the world. I like how it sounds so grumpy and from there gets angry. I like that you have to work for it's co-operation rather then just press a button and I just generally like the engine.

i love way you conrol the engine to pick uup the pitch noice to start it isa AWSOME

Beautiful! Love that sound!

Absolutely sensational. Nothing like a petrol engine firing in sub zero temperatures. Starts like my old V6 Evinrude 235 Cross Flow. Real aeroplanes run with round engines. (OK maybee V types if they start at 6 until 12)

Absolutely loved it! 100% agreement. No other sound like it. Round engines rule. Like an old Connie pilot had on his ball cap: "Jets Are For Kids". Yessir!

HA!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Especially the comment about turbines smelling like a boy scout camp full of coleman lanterns. I've got a little over 1200 hrs flying Ag Cats with 985's and 1340's on the nose. Nothing like firing her up first start of the morning!

Thank you. What a sound and what characterfull machine!

yeah ok there is something wrong with the guy before me. I am pilot and I've never started or even flown in a radial, but my hat is off, that is really a beautiful sound and a beautiful engine all round. Congrats.

A little bit reluctant, that engine. But a real nice video. And a very nice plane.

Oh yeah, Radial engines have a triat that all cylnders don't fire right off. Takes a while, especially if its been sitting for a while. They spit smoke, carbon buildup, and raw fuel, but are also some of the most powerful (torque-wise) engines in the world.

You said it, brother! Jets are for wimps! Too simple! Real machines are those that take determination to operate! That helps ensure appreciation and love! Just like a woman.

lovely machine. the thing with radials is that the lower cylinders tend to fill with oil when the engine is off, hence the smoke and misfiring on start up

This aircraft (LN-WNB) is located at Kjeller airfield (Lillestrøm). We used to have two Broussards in Norway (LN-WNA & LN-WNB). LN-WNA was sold to Sweden a few years ago, but I am not sure where it is based.

Super cool video and comments :-)

I've been standing close by a Mustang that fires up, and of course there is nothing like a Merlin... The aircraft in the video is a Max Holste MH.1521 Broussard built in France 1956.

Right on!!!

There is no rudder at the fuselage center line. This aircraft got two stabilizers/rudders mounted on the tips of the horizontal stabilizer (like the B-25)

Amen to that!

Radials are often like this on cold start!

No it's not fuel injected. It's a carburator and a single stage centrifugal compressor. Search for "Pratt & Whitney R-985" on Google and you find more info. The reason the propeller spins before you hear the starter engage, is purly because of out of sync audio.... The process of uploading the video on KZread messed it up.

well said on your scroll !!

Ever started a P-51 Mustang, and heard it fly? That's a beautiful rolls royce merlin engine!! What kind of plane you got there?

Yea We need things to fiddle with.....

Where exactly is this plane located? I think I've seen one near Stockholm, Sweden where I live, on the airfield Skå-Edeby? Is that the one?

Nettes Video, nur der Kommentar am Anfang stört mich, denn eine Jet-Turbine zu starten erfordert mindestens genau so viel technisches Verständnis wie ein Sternmotor

Why does it puff smoke like that, as if there is a cylinder missing?

The text isn't really mine. It's a text of unknown orgin.

It's nine cylinders.

There's NO SOUND like a radial!!!!!
