 | If I heard this while at my house, I'd just bypass the door and go straight through the window! Nice vid.

| Question. During the flyby (and, interestingly enough) in a Spitfire simulator program, there is a high pitched whistle. Is that sound from the Merlin engine, or unique to the aircraft chassis? Just curious... |
