Turbine power! I have always wondered what these things actually sounded like, when they really got going.

Like a 737 throttling up ! Deafening , with a high pitched whine !

Agree with Steve. More like a B-52. Wsa gassing up in Rawlins back in 69, heard that roar,investigated the source from 3 blocks away. Paid off with a cab ride. Probably wouldn't happen today.
