Hear how the Corsair got its nickname. This FG-1D Corsair of the Old Stick and Rudder Company is shown as it beats up the skies over Hobbiton (actually, it's Hood Aerodrome in Masterton, New Zealand).

Here's more of the Corsair, flown by Keith Skilling over Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand in 2005. This is the only surviving Corsair that actually saw service with the RNZAF during World War II. Crank up the speakers and draw the blinds. Prepare for your eargasm.

My car does that. I didn't know it was called whistling death, but I do now.

You sure that's not somebody in the back seat with a balloon? Seriously, though, what the hell is that? It would drive me bonkers. Much like this:

It's a Forester cross-wind problem. Not sure if it is an XT (hood scoop) thing or not.

When I go highway speeds with a heavy cross wind, something in the lower right area of the windshield has this terrible sound.

Other Forester drivers report the same issue.
