Small Airplane Start Up & Run Idle

My good friend Jim Flippen is a wonderful Pilot.  I have never seen anyone with more passion about flying as Jim.  He LOVES it!  I love to hear his stories about being a helicopter pilot during Vietnam and about his work as a commercial pilot for many years.  This guy has some great stories and great experiences in the air.  A couple of years ago I went out and recorded his Dec 1945 Aeronca 7AC Champ Trainer Plane.  We did some start up and idle sounds and some flyovers.  For the recording I used a Tascam DR60mkII along with a Sennheiser MKE600 Shotgun.  Turned out great!  Thanks Jim! Can't wait to record your new helicopter.

Here's a link to one of the recordings:  Small Airplane Start Up & Run Idle
