[Milsurplus] GI sound effects

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

I've got video from inside the radio compartment of the Nine-O-Nine with all four
engines lighting off one after the other. A bit drawn out (one engine was
stubborn), but the audio could be stripped and edited fairly easily I'd guess.
Makes me chuckle to watch a movie like Memphis Belle with the crew members talking
amoungst each other so easily. When you're in flight with a flight helmet/headset
on and all 4 engines are roaring, casual conversation just isn't possible. Hand
signals work well, until you hit turbulence. One can only begin to imagine what
those crews went through on a regular basis with flak and fighter attacks on top of
the rest.
