Piston Powered Dash 8 on "Patrol Boat"
Did anyone else hear the "Piston Powered" Dash 8 appearance on ”Patrol Boat" Ch9 Last night? 
I had better run and tell my mate who is a Dash 8 CAPT that he is only accumulating piston time,not turbine

Nothing like being at sea and having the mighty normally aspirated Dash8 overflying your patrol boat.
Would have thought customs would have gone for the turbocharged version to expedite the transit times to the search area.

Crack another one up for the people who make television programs and have no idea about aviation. How many times have you seen a turbine powered helicopter on tv, only to hear a piston sound similar to the Bell Sioux's in MASH?????

Back to Aircraft sound recognition classes for you GFPT
30 seconds into the video, lays the victim of your challenge.
Sounds very turbo proppy to me.

No .... that 2nd pass was without a doubt, a DHC4 Caribou. Nothing else sounds like that. At the very least channel 9 got the DHC part correct.
Well picked-up FA18. I tips my lid.
and Apologies to you too GFPT, I should have watched all of it.
ps. checkout the cameramans offsider (off screen) fending the tinnie off with an oar @ 1.57

no one would watch the show if there wasn't any rooting going on.
just be glad it's between men and women.
obviously that won't last forever; I'm sure next year will feature a "gritty, cutting-edge" gay navy love scene......
Jesus...
"Aaaaarrghhh, it be YOUR turn in the barrell today, Leading Seaman Staynes!! Head first, there's a good lad!"

Bottums Up
TV shows seem to have a penchant for turbine sound effects for piston engined aeroplanes, and vice versa.
Years ago, watching the Flying Doc, I nearly fell off the couch, when MSF (?) was cleared to FL500 ex Bankstown!

Very True Tinny, but it does mean I don't have to watch the " Fattest Loser " or " I can't Dance "

Crickey! I'd fall off the couch too with Mike Sierra Famous being cleared to FL500.
That 2nd Dash 8 sound in the clip is definitely Caribou-esq.
Big Sky aviation (on channel 10) used to crack me up too. Ab-initio training in Chieftains etc...
Missus Toad (who is a nurse) cracks up at the likes of All-Sinners, so such in-accuracies occur across the board.
... so much cr@p on TV these days - even on ABC(1) and Sex Between Soccer.
