Have to agree with that, but graceful is not what one would describe the sound as.
One of my goals in life is to get close enough to a "Bear"(will settle for an AN-22) just to hear those big Kuznetsovs and their huge contra rotating props beating the air into submission.
One might wonder what would have been the outcome if the USAF/Boeing/P&W et al had gone down the turboprop route and developed the B-29/50 family further... oh wait a minute!!!
