@@1bigboi_629 the vulcan can fly extremely slow because of its shaoe the open the trottle up full and accelerate vertically, because of the vulcans air intake when the trottle os theorwn wide open makes it scream lome that.
Check out the SU-57 howl. That sounds just as terrifying if not more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XH8MiQnS8Ws.htmlsi=CsxONVVoNUt3vMK8
I was at Robin Hood Airport when the Vulcan XH558 came home for her final ever landing, She gave us one final howl over the field and one final amazing half roll as she banked on to her left wing and then she landed, the small crowd including myseld standing by the airport fence realised we had just witnessed the end of an era. It was an incredible moment of huge pride and huge sadness. Vulcan was in a class of her own.
As a young boy growing up north of Doncaster, one of my favourite and most cherished memories is of laying on my back in the summer sun watching and listening to the "V"'s as they climbed out from, or came in on approach to, Finningley.
**sips tea** "You see Nigel, when your aeroplane makes such a terrifying sound, you do not have to fear anti-aircraft missiles, for they would have been frightened off by the sound of this aerial behemoth, so you may carry on with your assignment."
As a boy, I went to see the first Vulcan to land in Australia after its non stop flight from England and we saw it take off again in an almost vertical climb! 😁👍 What a memory for a plane loving kid! 🥰
@Sid Vicious I'm pretty sure that he wasn't talking about the UK, he was referring to the Argentines on the ground, but you have a point about whether they would have heard it.
What a fantastic machine, did us proud and safe for quite a few years, thank you Vulcan 🖖 for the designers, assemblers, pilots and crew, we say a big thank you.
Your comment makes no sense, WW1 planes still fly, WW2 planes still fly, none meet the modern safety standards!!! The 1909 Bleriot, from the shuttleworth collection, still flys. Maybe you need some aviation education
You are missing my point, you said the Vulcan did not meet modern safety standards, I am merely point out that there are plenty of older aircraft still flying that are far less safe by your analogy. The Vulcan was grounded because she had more flying hours than any other Vulcan, the engines were in unknown territory for operational hours, this in turn concluded her flying days, the expense of flying was high, but not a contributing factor for her being grounded. If she’s had been sold to America she would still be flying, being used for testing equipment.
I remember one coming over my aunt's house in Cheshire whilst I was out in the garden. It was nearly 60 years ago and it was something I'll never forget. I was, to put it in cliched terms, awestruck.
Awesome thank you. The sight and sound of the Vulcan is for me always a pleasure, also the sound of the camera shutters tells me others wanted to save the moment too GLORIOUS.
Jesus, that howl is just something primal - like how you’d imagine a dragon or some other mythical creature would sound. I regularly saw these at airshows when I was a youngster, although I don’t remember hearing the howl so much - what I *do* remember is seeing them go vertical and the noise making both the ground and my bones shake. Amazing machine.
Thanks Dave, I was lucky enough to see it and hear the howl several times but this one really was the best, a contender for the best ever maybe? Who knows there must still be videos not yet made public!
I saw them fly at Fairnborough and it was a visceral physical sound that shook you to your bones and almost lifted me off my feet .a never forgotten experience. That and a Saab Viggen were my most memorable sights at an air show
You can hear the crowd chatting away and then the howl comes in and everyone is silent apart from the clicking of camera.But that was like some mythical beast waking up and yawning and I wouldn't of liked being the enemy with this flying overhead...
When my dad was stationed at Offutt AFB in the late 70s, there was a Vulcan squadron stationed there. They were kept directly across the street from our base apartment so I got to see them on a daily basis. I will never forget that howl, such an amazing sound from a spectacular aircraft. I can hear that howl and recall some great memories of watching them taxi/take off and conversations through the flightline fence with friendly pilots and ground crews.
Top 5 most beautiful sounds a man can hear: 5) Your baby cries for the first time 4) Birds chirping in an empty forest on a crisp summer morning 3) "I love you" 2) "Put it anywhere you like" 1) RVRVRVRVRVRVRVRVRVVRVRRVRVRVRVRVRVRVRVRVVRVRVRVVRVVRVVVVVRVVRRVVVVVVVVVM
oh I don't know, the USA has had some pretty spectacular aircraft which are much admired here in the UK, F14 Tomcat, Phantom, B1 Lancer, B52 and so on, but I agree this one has a very unique sound and was much loved on the airshow circuit. :)
Oxon Images Another American aircraft that would scream bloody murder was the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter. I remember seeing those do touch and go runs at Kelly AFB in San Antonio.
I really like the sound of the F22 It’s not just the sound...it’s so loud and so powerful that you can feel the vibrations through the ground Nothing compares for me at least
I regret that I'll never be able to hear that scream or see that beauty fly over in person. That is some howl! I feel that I have to mention that one of my favorite airplanes used to have the best "scream" out there before it's engine upgrade. I have heard the C-5A/B Galaxy in person on multiple occasions and it's an experience. Check out this video around the 4 :05 mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4uPiD1KlwHU.html
She's beautiful. Remember hearing that howl at El Toro MCAS on California when she came over for a visit. The coolest sound of the Vulcan is when she passes. What a lovely roar!
@@tealcformerfirstprimeofapo22 Oh I've seen some weird crap The script of Girls und Panzer (which I highly recommend) is some of the cringiest I have ever heard
A sound that i will never forget because as a teenager in the 80's I remember a vulcan carrying out a simulated attack on portland naval base during the weekly Thursday war.
That has got to be one of the best howls on YT. I saw her fly, stood near her and heard that howl on more than a few occasions. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Miss her greatly, but she just ran out of time and has been silenced forever.
I remember in the 80’s during Abbotsford (BC Canada) international airshow. We were sitting on a small hill a short distance from the airport when a Vulcan flew over. I never forgot the crazy howl and the apocalyptic levels of noise. That was the heyday of airshows in Canada with so many cool aircraft flying but the Vulcan really stole the show for me that year. Now we have portable screens instead of SSTs and space tourism. Who else out there feels ripped off?
Out-f**cking-standing!!! You were in exactly the right place to capture that phenomenal sound!! I saw her fly at RAF Leuchars back in 1992 and donated towards her “Back to the sky” appeal shortly after. Probably THE most iconic aircraft of the Cold War era. Thank you for sharing this!!
Depending on the angle, the Vulcan reminds me of Rodan. I do love that roar, and I'm partial to F4 Phantom Ii's. I got to see a Vulcan up close at a McGuire AFB air show. Beautiful. And huge.
That is the sound of my childhood, I grew up about a mile and a half as the crow flies from the Avro Site at Woodford where they built these things. My next door neighbour worked there in a fairly senior position in the design department. There were these enormous L-shaped tubes in paired pairs that the Vulcans would be put against to try and deflect the sound upwards. They probably did but you could still hear the roar and sometimes the howl from the engines being tested and feel them in the air and and a slight tremor in the ground. Awesome and nostalgic.
What a beautiful aircraft. I had the pleasure of seeing it do a low flyover at RAF Cosford once. I’ll never forget the noise......or the car alarms afterwards 😆
Maths class always stopped, and the teacher used to let us run to the windows to watch these do their manoeuvres over the Cheshire countryside. The only good thing about maths class. Thanks Mr Llewellyn.
I used to watch these while at school back in the ‘60s we were under their flight path even at high altitude their unique vapour trail gave them away. Right up there alongside the Buffs as an all time great aircraft.
Really quite haunting... and melancholic. It might have been designed for death but ultimately it feels like so much more. I do miss seeing it in the air.
Just imagine how those young Argentinian conscripts felt when they heard this sound on the Falklands, followed by all of the ordinance going off on the airfield, i think that it may possibly have been the last thing they did hear.
I miss the old girl flying... that Vulcan howl was just amazing. I was at Norwich Airport when X558 was on the fair well tour. What a noise as it flew over.
Such an incredible iconic aircraft! Such a shame we don't have an airworthy one left! ⚠️😯😔 I have fond memories living on the flight path of regular vulcan fly pasts, living not far from Woodford airfield where they did work on them!👍😎
i remember about 60 years ago i was with my dad on holiday in leeds,we went to an air show and one of the flew over about 100ft off the ground,everyone hit the deck holding there ears,awesome jet make you feel proud to be british .
That might be the coolest sound an airplane has ever made. Would love to know what the XB-70 sounded like. I got to see the SR-71 land at Wright-Patterson in Feb. 1990....that was my Graceland 😢
