P-3C engine starting

[duanemartin]

I really love the sounds of those Allison turboprops, I miss that sound very much. I flew on an Evergreen International L 188 Electra charter from EVV to DCA back in 1977, Ill never forget it! The P3 Orions are basically like the L 188s.
I love the marshalling of the ground crew, demonstrates great airmanship and respect for the crew and the military service they are about to embark upon.
Thank you for sharing this video.

When I was stationed at Barbers Point in Hawaii, I would fall asleep to the sound of these engines. How I miss that sound!

Amazing how that guy starts engines with his gestures and little dance! If my car ever breaks down, I hope he's around to conjure it back to life :)

Thanks for the great video! I especially appreciate letting the sounds through without commentary.

I grew up on a Navy Bases, watching P-3 flying around the base 24-7, I love those sounds. My dad retired from the Navy as AX technician. I always love P-3's reliability, knowing that it would bring my dad home from his long deployments.

When I was a kid (long time ago) I lived between to naval air bases Johnsville in Warminster and Willow Grove in Horsham and would fall asleep to the sound of those engines running all night. I Miss That.!

I flew Orions. I never knew how much I would miss every aspect of it.

I was a flight engineer on P3C aircraft from 1978 til 1991. I still miss them.

Those Allison turboprops are music to my ears. Reminds me of the sounds of Dobbins Air Reserve Base. C-130s and P-3s are things of beauty.

10 years out and I still miss that hum

Im 70, rented cessna 152's the last 40 years. My first airplane flight was in '63 on lockheed electra, american airlines to new york. Was awsome.

That looks like Atsugi Airfield. My first duty station. Loved watching those P3s and the big float planes come in all the time.

I grew up with CP-140's (Canadian P-3's) flying overhead, love the sound of those engines!

[aztec]

I absolutely love the choreography/the Dance of the Orions! Beautifully presented.

I know a guy who started in the airforce in NZ on Andover’s (hs748 military variant) and then onto P3, then he went civilian b737 ( I think or maybe HS146), finally finished on A380 in Dubai but he still loved those P3’s

[Altenholz]

Really extremely successful shots. Without knowing from which country these are, I was immediately impressed by the accuracy and friendliness of the Marshallese at the start up of the machines. Of course, these were shot in Japan.

I used to fly on Convair 580s never can forget the sound of the Allison turboprops
Sweet music

[Deadman]

Way back when - late 70s/ early 80s - I used to watch P-3s fly in and out of Burbank Airport in California. I really miss those days. P-3s, C-130s, C-141s, and the occasional C-5.

Absolutely music to my ears love the Alison engines ❤❤

I grew up near NAS Moffett Field in the 1970s. These things were everywhere back then
