1954 Grumman G-111 Albatross

Recording the sound of this beautiful plane. I was using a Schoeps MS microphone set with a MK41 as the mid and a MK8 as the side. It was so loud and shook my whole body during takeoff. Rattled some windows on the way out.

Hey, I worked on this plane when it got its interior refurbished. Still one of the most unique planes I have ever worked on.

What a wonderful aircraft! Stunning footage and sounds!

The Schoeps mic is an excellent mic. Good job capturing the entire audio spectrum for this video. Listening to your video using my IEM’s was a treat! Thank you.

Technically speaking the registration of N51ZD is wrong; there is no such thing as a "1954 Grumman model G-111." This aircraft was originally built as a short-wing US Navy model UF-1 (Grumman design no. G-64) in 1954, then was the 27th such Navy version of the aircraft to be returned to the factory and converted into a long-wing (Grumman design no. G-211; the "original" design no. G-111 was the long-wing conversion for the USAF) which made it into a US Navy model UF-2 (aka HU-16D after 1962.) Then in the early 1980's, it was re-built (zero-timed) by Grumman as a "new" civilian model G-111 per FAA TC A22SO under Part 25 Transport category standards - which did not exist before 1980. As such, it should be identified as a 1980 or later model G-111.

Due to FAA regulation the The G111 had a side emergency door just behind the cockpit,
