I did not say what you heard on the GROUND was wrong. I'm saying it IS if you expect to hear it if you were the pilot in the airplane. No need to be an bellybutton because someone has a different, more informed opinion Booky.

Did I say I was on the ground? No I said I was in the pit, real time experience, can't really argue with that. I know for a fact that the engine will whine when you dive and it is heard in the cockpit. I will however come to a agreement that this may not be so noticable in a 2000HP WWII Fighter, since I was not in one. But I know that in lighter, smaller aircraft such as the C182RG constant speed, that we heard the engine wind up when we dove out from that 737 that tried to run us over at about 6k and 35 miles se of Naha intl. Silly Naha controlers forgot it was thick clouds and we couldn't see chit. There have been other instances where Ive heard the engine whind up but I really haven't flown much in a few years so I can't recall exact models. I know one of them was a Piper HP of some sort doing acrobat manouvers over a frozen lake near wyoming MN a few winters ago :-)
Anyway, I was fuming already when I posted the first one so I hope you didn't take too much offense to it. I am just posting what I know I experience, and I generalize that most here act like they know wat they talking about because they READ it somewhere, or HEARD (no pun intended) it somewhere.
Like all things take it for a grain of salt. Nothing I ever say means a whole lot anyway so don't get too fubergasted aobut this
