I have learned to hide when the AeroShell T-6 team takes off to do their
demos. I know RPM is HP, but man, how about turning the RPM back just a
few
hundred. They are painful to listen to, even verging on nauseating!
(IMHO)

Funny -- I LOVE the way those T-6s roar past!

They've got 'em set up specifically to make lots of noise and smoke -- in
the finest airshow tradition...

Roar = good. Screech of prop tips = painful!

Never heard prop tips screech. The T-6 gives you two sonic booms for
every revolution. OTOH so does a Bonanza with a 2-blade prop.
