I love the sound of .mil jets flying around here.

Residents who live near bases where F-35s are stationed appealed to the Pentagon saying they feared the F-35 would be too loud and disturb neighborhoods.


However, the Joint Strike Fighter program office released results on Oct.31 that found the F-35B is no louder than the F/A-18. The tests results were released ahead of the beginning of training for F-35B pilots at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina.

Sounds like freedom to me.

Maybe not in forward flight, but if the harrier is any gauge, it'll be loud as the pit of hades in hover mode.

Fly some EA-6's over for awhile...  tell them if they shut the fuck they can go back to regular aircraft.
