Do you honestly think that a real WW2 warbird pilot would not prefer to hear his engine as we could

I can tell that you haven't spent hours sitting behind the engine and prop of a small plane, at least without the headphones on

You said this and you are right but you reply as if I suggested that we turn our amplifiers up until we're deafened. I said quite the opposite of what you skimmed mate \:\)

Really. After a while it gets old, tired, and very annoying hearing all that noise

Pardon \:\)

You're saying that in a real plane I would prefer to wear the earplugs and headphones

Well of course I would mate. Fairly obvious \:\)

"[a WW2 pilot would] prefer to hear his engine as we could..." I said

In an armchair with beer and a fantastic sound system and a volume control? Course they would.
