And in honor of March madness:
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
F35s sure have a deep growl to it. Love the daily airshow. Haven't seen an F16 take off for a while.
Who’s that flamboyantly gay boy trolling for pilots?
Nah, I’m not a pilot. Looks like he’s all yours baby girl, and if you aren’t may I introduce half the forumWhy- looking for a date?
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.

You mean vertical stabs, I think.
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.
If you didn’t wake up with the word Cunt tattooed above the incision by the doctor tell him I want my money back.
My bud was AF in Nam doing runway aned perimeter maintenance. He is near deaf from C-130's
If socialism really fed the poor, then why are there always so many poor people in Socialist countries?
just asking….
Sort of the same reasoning why “Diversity is our strength” even though they didn’t make the country they fled from any better, but somehow they magically make us better by coming here.If socialism really fed the poor, then why are there always so many poor people in Socialist countries?
I have a hard time believing an F 35 is louder than an F111… I swear to God, those things will cause your brain to reboot.
The mayor of the little town, Valparaiso, outside Eglin filed a lawsuit attempting to stop the F35 wing at Eglin because of the noise . AF ultimately reduced the numbers by, I believe, a squadron (been a while, memory). The dumbass was civil service on base. I was hoping his position would be cut.
