Since then, Altmann has captured the sounds of 20 years of air races, and has created audio documentaries on the P-38 Lightning, Messerschmitt Bf 109, Mitsubishi Zero, and Chance-Vought Corsair, and a CD set on World War I aircraft. "All of a sudden, a pack of three P-51s came tearing through the skies flat-out, seemingly just above our heads, doing 400-plus miles per hour. "Bob asked Ron Burda, an award-winning photographer for the San Jose Mercury News, 'to take this kid out to Pylon 6.' I had no inkling what was going to happen. "Toting around my microphones and tape recorder, I was pretty much of a freak, but I was adopted by the regulars because Bob Love introduced me to them," Altmann says. Love suggested that Altmann go to the Reno Air Races. Today, vinyl copies are fetching $250 on eBay. The first album, CheckFlight P-51, was released in 1983 and included a foldout poster of the Mustang's instrument panel. I basically put a lot of rattling and wind noise on tape." He and Love made another flight with a smaller single-point stereo microphone and it worked beautifully.

The amazing sound of his Merlin 12-cylinder engine stayed with me. The pilot was Korean ace Bob Love-he had a beautifully restored two-seat Mustang in Livermore, California. In 1982, for my 40th birthday, I took a ride in a P-51. "I became a recording engineer, and owned a music recording studio in San Francisco. "My mom would take me out in the stroller near the runway and what I now know were P-38s would roar over. "I grew up in the flight path of Santa Rosa Naval Auxiliary Air Station," Altmann says. His custom microphone array looks like a piece of Darth Vader's helmet. The hard disk recorder is the size of a cigar box.

What started as a hobby is now a business, AirCraft Records, which produces CDs featuring the sound of radial engines. Fifteen miles outside Reno, Nevada, John Altmann is in a van heading for the outskirts of Stead Airfield, a former Air Force base, now used by general aviation traffic and, once a year, by the association that stages the National Air Races.Īltmann has been making audio recordings of vintage aircraft engines for 25 years.
