You’ll hear every sound these magnificent beasts make, including engine starts, taxiing, take-offs and landings as well as blistering high speed passes and aerobatics.

All the Grumman Cats were designed for wartime combat with variants of the Mitsubishi Zero and other Japanese fighter aircraft. You’ll hear the sounds of the Zero, and you’ll hear racing cats powering around the Unlimited Course at Reno. We took a trip to Florida and recorded a wonderful and informative conversation with the legendary Corky Meyer, the man who test flew all of the Grumman Cats of WW2.

So turn up the stereo, close your eyes and imagine that you’re on the ramp at the Grumman factory listening to Corky Meyer overhead putting Grumman’s Cats to the test.

Our philosophy is simply to bring the most realistic sound experience available to the listener with current technology. We've been recording digitally since 1983. This eliminates all tape hiss and makes the background nice and quiet. We've taken great pains to develop a microphone recording system that captures the planes realistically. Additionally you'll rarely hear wind noise, background talking or other extraneous noises on our recordings.
