The plane in which I flew at Cape Cod did 120 db at takeoff power. Some young chick from OSHA showed up one afternoon and wanted to take measurements. I put her in "my" seat (radio) and cranked up the engines. We sort of BROKE her meter (needle wrapped around the right side stop). I did ask her if she really wanted to do this, because the engines (dual R-1820s) were pretty loud. She insisted.
I had warned her ... she didn't listen ... she left really pissed off at me. Ooops, guess I broke her stuff. D.
