Something useful the Squirrel Squad could buy
Instead of new fire trucks every year
New fun trucks I mean “brush trucks”
And stop being in a competition to build the most expensive fire house with the most expensive stone brick windows etc

The fire and police departments here just bought a new building. They said they outgrew their old facility. I was like when they made the old building this town had about 8500 people and more homes. Now we have about 7500. They seem to be outgrowing their tax base. We have city and county fire departments that have 6-8 trucks each. Tallest structure in town are grain elevators followed by the 3 story courthouse. They had to buy a 9/11 firetruck from NYC so they had a tall enough ladder to reach the roof. The building is a fallout shelter built almost entirely of stone.

I loved watching those F=22’s when they were flying out of Eglin. (Our son’s home is about a mile from the flight line, and we get an airshow nearly every day.) The sound they make with full afterburners when taking off is beyond normal belief.

I’m sitting in the parking lot, roughly 3/4 mile away, hold my ears, When they light up the afterburners to start their takeoff roll, the sound is literally shaking me (as in rattling my bones). IMPRESSIVE! I Love Em!

The sound of freedom.

If you think that the F35s are loud 3/4 mile away, imagine how bad my hearing is…..my planes are parked about 200 yards from EOR

So, everyone will be squared away, I beleive the picture I used is of an F22. The F22’s tail feathers (Vertical stabilizers) are trapezoidal, compared to the F-35’s which are somewhat swept back. The stabilizers are also wider spread due to the twin engines of the 22. (Appreciate @Skunk for the correction, Dyslexia offers so many directional errors)

Say hwut? All I hear are cicadas in my head.

Yep, those are loud.
5.5 years on them and the same on the F-15s, Cs, Ds and Es.

16 years on the B-1B.
They are friggin LOUD.
 
I’m fortunate to have my work located just off the end of the runway at Luke AFB. The “slow” landings of the F-35s are easily 10x as loud as an F-16 landing. As the training progresses - they will come on 4 ac at a time. It’s all good unless I’m trying to talk on the phone!

I was at Nelis AFB golf course right next to the approach end of the runway. The tunderchickens were landing, in idle and you could here the hydraulic actuators moving the stab over the sound of the engine.

Fucking POS lawn darts.
 
Got a tune up on the circulatory system, fixed up some blockages in the plumbing around the pump. Might have to put up with you guys for a couple more years...
If you didn’t wake up with the word Cunt tattooed above the incision by the doctor tell him I want my money back.
