That is all.  Bless you Rockwell. Where would we be without you? Truck axles... Space shuttles... Hellfire missiles... Apollo mission...

Loud airplane. Many, many years ago, the wife and I were laying on the beach in SC. I was looking out over the ocean and saw an aircraft dashing towards the coast fast and low. As it got closer, it slowed down, the wigs swept forward and it looked like it went over my head in slow motion. Then the burners kicked in and he was gone.

Quoted:
I was sitting outside at the club at AUAB when one took off on afterburner and stayed that way until out of sight. It was awesome and I hope whoever needed them was reached in time. I've stood in this very location for a night takeoff, it's at the runway end near our AMU. It shakes your soul.

You would win. I was never so fortunate as to see a Hustler in the air. I understand they used to fly out of Carswell.

Loudest craft i've heard is the Tomcat flying straight out, just a little bit above sea level with full burners.

If you squint right you can almost see the flares striking the vertical stabs. Stupid fucking design...

I, on the other hand, would despise being around that aircraft everyday. Load 84 bombs in 4 hours. WSO undoes your work in 5-seconds. Quoted:

They don't pull alert, trust me when I say the one you saw was scheduled to take off three hours prior. They are awesome machines in the air, but the biggest piece of shit we have ever fielded when trying to keep them there. |

I've seen them at Nellis, at air shows and in Afghanistan... I was a UAV operator and one night I saw a flash of something on my PO's screen (IR at night) and asked him to go back. Zoomed in, focused and there was a Bone with the burners on. Made me feel slow your joystick suddenly felt small and inadequate |
