Amazing, music to the ears and much better than todays whistling and screaming jet engines.

How low the Stratocruiser stays after takeoff near the end of the video.

Awesome! How many beautiful aircraft. And yes true Jens. It looks weird how shallow the initial climbing is in the propliners compared to the modern jets. But the Stratocruiser looks particularly shallow compared to the others.

Thanks for sharing!
