What kind of propeller engine sounds like a jet turbine as it passes over head?
I was just outside succumbing to my bad habit (I'm working on quitting but it's rough...) when a rather odd plane flew over head. As it approached it sounded like the usual C-130's that inhabit the air around here, but as it passed over head and flew on it sounded like a jet engine. The outline looked to be around the size and shape of a C-130 but I've never heard one sound like that before. The light pattern was different from the usual ones too, for whatever that's worth...
Ill drive by the airbase tomorrow and see if I can spot the odd ball. One of my air craft reference books mentions that the newer version of the C-130 has a 6 bladed swept prop over the 4 bladed older versions, so that should be easy to spot.
Have a good night,
