They originally wanted it be aboard a prop liner, but the movie company wanted a jet, but the brothers still used the sound from a propeller plane, which of course added to the humour.

Sort of like the sound a Piper Cub makes after one of it's three engines sputters and the wings begin fluttering (we ALL know a crash is eminent when THAT happens) ::loony::
