I really love the sounds of those Allison turboprops, I miss that sound very much. I flew on an Evergreen International L 188 Electra charter from EVV to DCA back in 1977, Ill never forget it! The P3 Orions are basically like the L 188s. I love the marshalling of the ground crew, demonstrates great airmanship and respect for the crew and the military service they are about to embark upon. Thank you for sharing this video.

I was an AX in VP23 in the early 70s. I went on every detachment we had while I was in that squadron so I got quite a few hours as a ground pounder. I got out moved to Alaska, got a technician job in the oil fields and bought a little 7ECA Aeronca Champ and learned to fly. This plane is basically a Citabria rated for +4.5 and -2.5 Gs. It is also a taildragger which is great for off airport flying like gravel bars and beaches for hunting and fishing. I also had jobs in Alaska as a communications tech where I would charter all kinds of planes including small jets, turboprops and helicopters. I had to fly to an oil platform in Cook Inlet and my pilot was a former P3 In flight engineer.

@xairman565
3 жыл бұрын
Anraí ground idle. There was a position on the throttle quadrant for ground start and ground idle. But the ground idle I’m referring to, is the RPM of the engine as opposed to the position of the blades. I don’t think there was much difference in blade angle between ground idle and ground start, most usually left the throttle position at ground idle. Mainly because the ground start position on the quadrant was superfluous anyway.
@bikeguy3034
2 жыл бұрын
@@xairman565 Fair bit of difference between ground start and ground idle power lever position. Ground Start was not 'superfluous' - it was the position with the lowest blade angle that provided minimum resistance to blade start-up, then the power lever was placed into Ground Idle position that was actually a bit negative blade angle to direct thrust forwards to prevent the aircraft rolling forward - as just the thrust coming from the tailipipe is actually enough to move aircraft (around 700lb thrust per engine). You usually taxied around in reverse thrust so you didn't go too fast! If hot day you needed to cycle the engines sequentially into forward thrust to direct cooling air through oil cooler, then back to reverse and another to fwd thrust etc. Just FYI :)

Why have you taken such an issue with the ground crew? So many militaries around the world do exactly this. Especially the US Air Force and Navy. Hand signals that are exaggerated, clear and concise, are very necessary. You have marshalled aircraft in a civilian environment. Excellent. The military asks for just a bit more from their crews than the civilian world. And the JASDF will certainly have a degree of ceremony in what they do.
