B-47 taking off with RATO on!


Loud, yes, but WORTH IT! :

Harriers taking off from a short field a quarter of a mile from your squad
bay.

I live under the final for PDX. Every morning the F-15s come over (or roar
out overhead.) I'm exactly under the point where they lower their landing
gear, which means I'm exactly downrange when they throttle up to compensate.
Rattles my windows every freakin' morning. I'd take it as a free airshow
("the sound of freedom") but it sets the neighbor's terrier off for the next
half an hour or so.

I think B-1s are the loudest things I've ever heard personally.
