Nice videos


Hey, speaking of 757's, how do you guys tell the difference between PW and RR engines on them. I can't tell the difference.

look for the cone shape on the pratts on the back end the rolls royce looks more like someone just cut the taper offof a coke bottle and slapped it onto the back

Ah, ok, never noticed that. Also, isn't there a sound difference as well?

[hiss srq]

more of a buzzsaw sound with the rolls royces

Thanks.

i use the sounds to distingush. sadly, i can even tell the difference between a DHC-8 and a SAAB-340, while standing deep inside my terminal. i'm know to pop my head up from my computer when a PW-powered 757 rolls off of 13/31 too.


and i just realized, that 757 has wingelts!!! SWEET!!!

Great videos. But find me one with the DC-10 or MD-11 doing that. Now that would be insane!

I really enjoyed those vids. The Icelandair one was great.
