Very good Scott. Compressor stall was a common thing when we were handling US Navy aircraft in the 60s. It usually happened just as we were giving the pilot the command to pull out of the parked position and then a very loud whoop! Too fast on throttle at low thrust. It is pretty loud when you are standing out in front of the aircraft even with ear protection. It usually included a big white puff of condensation at the front of the intake as the air was quickly sucked back in. I’ve also been on an airliner and heard compressor stall and the pilot came on the intercom shortly after to explain all was well.

To clarify: The Mig 15 was centrifugal flow, thus the fat fuse http://www.midwaysailor2.com/eltoro/eltoro-008b.jpg and the F-86 and our FJ2s, 3s and 4s were axial flow http://www.centennialofflight.gov/es...E/Aero11G4.htm

Miss those good old FJs, liked the 2s and 3s best! It is too bad that more kids don’t get opportunities to work around fighter aircraft nowadays. Working on the ramp was hard work, but I love jet aircraft so it was a labor of love and we even got paid for it!
