That brings back memories from 1980's . She's a bit thirsty but good value for money and built sturdy like the old P-40's . Straight pipes , no muffler , same as J-20 Kraguj . Thanks for posting it !
That is a long ways from being the loudest single engine aircraft. Not sure what is. But the loudest I can remember is the North American T-6 from WW 2.
This video doesn’t do it justice. It’s definitely louder than a T-6 at takeoff power. That said, you’re probably thinking of the Thunderscreech, which was a turboprop.
@@LowlifesFlyingClub No I’m talking about the T-6 from WW-2. It has a Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-1340 engine producing 600 HP. I’m a commercial pilot since 1970 and an A&P mechanic. The prop’s blade tips on the T-6 break the sound barrier on take off. I have never heard any horizontal opposed engine come close to the T-6. I have worked on hundreds, some on airboats without any type of muffler. And flown many. I do know the difference between a piston engine and a turboprop. Over 7 years on C-130s. almost 4 years as a crew chief in the US Air Force, and 3 as a flight engineer in the USAF Reserves.
@@billmorris2613 I think the loudest piston single I've been around is the DHC-3 Otter. Geared 1340 keep the prop tip speeds down but the exhaust dumps into augmenter tubes that extend back from the cowling on the underside of the forward fuselage. Very, very loud at almost all power settings, definitely hearing protection kind of environment if you're riding in them
@@mikee9065 Yes they are loud too. We don’t have as many as Alaska but we had a few. I never flew them but flying seaplanes in Southeast Louisiana we sometimes had them as neighbors when parked on the ramps at some of the oil rig sites we flew too. Also at the various airports in the area.
You should fly in a Britten-Norman Trislander!…Incredible prop noise….It’s caused by the propeller tips going Supersonic….They call that thing loud??….What about the Boeing Steerman then?
@@RamblerMan68 Na….Boring!…Go and have a flight in the front seat of a Boeing Steerman….Noisy as F@@k and it’s open cockpit!….Thats Real Flying for you!
@@RamblerMan68 I have a lot of time in a C-185 anfib. It does not come close to the North American WW-2 era T-6 Texan. Those prop tips break the sound barrier on take off. I have been in aviation since 1968. The NA T-6 is the loudest piston engine that I can remember.
Call that loud??…I’ve heard hedgehogs fart louder than that!….I think they’ve forgotten about the Boeing Steerman or the Grumman Ag-Cat (Radial Engine version)!

Not as bad as a 185 though...the prop noise on a 185 is crazy

It’s definitely louder than a 185. Doesn’t translate on the video, but it is.
Gso 480
Yep, that's the key, Geared Lycoming sounding like half of an old twin Aero commander.
GO 480 Lycoming...same as a lot of the Helio Couriers..
This one's got 340hp. (I think IGSO or GSO)
@@aircraftadventures-vids GSO I believe the owner told me.
And Dornier DO-27s too 😊
@@extra330LT I almost bought one a couple years ago...
@@iansampson2492 I fell in love with that aircraft model when I saw it in an airshow when I was a kid!! It's a beautiful beast 😉
no, j-20 soko kraguj is louder it has funnel on last part of exhaust
Soko J-20 Kraguj has the same engine, so I believe it would be very loud as well. ;)

Neither the AgCat or the Stearman make the noise this thing makes.
cool plane but a T6 is 600hp slinging two blades. my vote
T-6 is definitely loud, but this thing just felt louder. You could feel it in your chest.
