Description
Various prop plane recordings from the annual Sandpoint Idaho Fly-In events which happen every summer here in sunny North Idaho. Prop Planes North Idaho Style!
Part 1: These airplanes are from a casual visit to 2010 The 6th annual Sandpoint Fly-In on a beautiful sunny day in North Idaho. A few minutes after arriving at the small town airport planes started pulling up and performing a quick engine run-up as they prepared for take off. Nobody bothered me as I was standing in the scorching sun with a Sanken CSS-5 on a boom pole. The airport security guys just waved as the drove by on ATV’s. Small town airports are great, you can wander around very close to the runway as long as you don’t step out on the runway.
I was able to get right up next to and behind the airplanes as they were getting ready for departure. I got some great recordings and the oldest flying Boeing airplane with minimal background distractions. Check them out below.
Equipment Used:
Sound Devices SD-702 – Sanken CSS-5 in Narrow Stereo Mode
Part 2: A whole year has passed since the 5th Annual Sandpoint fly in and on August 13, 2011 I made the short trip to the Sandpoint Airport and recorded the 6th Annual Fly In.
Included are 24-Bit 96K recordings presented on Broadcast WAV files with full Soundminer 4 Pro Metadata of a variety of small modern and vintage aircraft on the ground and in ripping through air. Included are high speed passes, take offs, landings and ground taxi bys.
There is also a J5 Wright powered 1928 Stearman C3B starting its engine and taxiing down the tarmac that I was fortunate enough to get at the end of the show. The owner wanted the sound for his cell phone ring tone. I recorded the graceful aircraft as it was departing and flying by.
Equipment Used:
Sound Devices SD-702 – Sanken CSS-5 in Narrow Stereo Mode
Part 3: 19 new sound effects including ground taxi, pass by, engine run-ups and two monster airplanes called the AN-2 and B-17. Recorded with a MKH-8040ST XY stereo microphone rig close up on the runway.

Blog post from August 2010: 2010 Annual Sandpoint Fly-In prop plane recordings
Recording a Boeing B-17 on June 25 2012
A Boeing B-17 bomber “Nine-o-Nine” stopped in Sandpoint Idaho on June 25, 2012 and I was there to record the amazing sound this plane makes with the Sennheiser MKH-8040ST. It was a beautiful, sunny summer day out on the airfield. I had no idea this plane was going to be in town that day. I only found out as I was recording bullet impacts and I heard this faint rumble-drone sound. I looked up and saw a B-24 bomber heading my way.
