>Loads of great sounds? From a Jet??? Come on now, impressive they might be, but no Jet or Turbofan will ever sound remotely as good as a big piston engine at full whack. And older jets didn't have the luxury of FADEC, so there's a bit more than just pushing a button and letting it do it all for you.<

My response was humorous not serious :-) but having said that I think a jet engine starting up sounds great.

Iin the one I currently fly we do not have the luxury of fadec. No there is not a lot to do other than pressing the button :-) Moving the thrust levers and monitoring the start sequence.
