I’ve said for years that I wake up like an old radial engine: slowly, and with a lot of smoke and noise. Judging by my teenage kids, at least one of them takes after me as well. Anyway, all that to serve as a preamble excuse for posting a few excellent YouTube videos of things that fly, and seem to have their own problems waking up sometimes.
Two engines, six flailing rotor blades, and not a whole lot of help when stuck in the mud. Yeah, we’ve had mornings like this too.
Maybe lay off the late night Taco Bell if your morning start-up procedure involves this much smoke and flame though.
Can’t let the Russians have all the fun though. Let’s end this with some good old American radial noise!
