That's just beautiful, in every way. Seeing that small Baron taxi in front of the Connie just made me feel how much I love prop-planes. The sounds and the visuals are incredible. Thanks for sharing m8!

Hi,

Awesome video, thanks for posting, I like how the little twin (probably Beech Baron) passes almost silent in front of the four engine beast roaring. :wink:

Nice video, love these.

Can someone explain how these engines are able to start as such a low rpm? Prop looks its turning at about 30 rpm.

hmmm, that is odd.....I can see a window and in the corner of that window I can see a "Y" which is a link to YT, unfortunately not a link to the video. Can anyone please post a link to the video?

P.S: I never had problems seeing embedded vids here on this forum. I use Chrome, any suggestion?? please PM me :D
Kind Regards
Tomas

Strange, Thomas. It shows up on my ipad, but not on my windows 10 computer? In one instance there was nothing, in another instance I saw what you saw.

Here's a link as a test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx-t8SFLifQ

I can confirm this. Shows up fine on my IPhone. But not on my Windows 10 computer. Just has a "Y" on the right. Interesting.

Yes, same here. Watched it last night on my iPad (it's a blast, BTW, thanks for posting!) but on my W10 laptop, I just get the "Y" offset in a black box, which looks like a YouTube logo or text displaced to the lower right. Wonder what's up with that.

EDIT: I tried clicking on the "Y" and it took me to a YouTube landing page - judging by the URL, which has a "?" in it, it seems to be producing a failed search result. Odd.

The link still shows on my computer, and is active on the ipad and the computer. So, nobody sees the alternate link two posts above on their computer?

Link works fine on my computer too. But with the embedded video I get the same as Alan.

Yes, alternate link works perfectly, it's just the one in the OP that doesn't (on W10).
