if you want loud, try the F-111.

Ahh, but the 'varks are gone and so are the rhinos. :-(


even the EF's?

and what about the Australians? are theirs all gone too?


Since the BUFFs and tankers that are left are all turbofans, I'd say the
king of loud these days is the Bone. A full burner TO will rattle windows
and set off alarms for a mile.


The USAF still has at least one 707 with the old old engines.
Everytime it takes off out of BED there are dozens of noise
complaints. But of course it probably won't match a plane
doing a full burner TO.
