I they there to take out IRA targets?
Grew up by an Air force base in West Texas and T-37’s, 38’s, F-104’s and 105’s were either constantly in the air or they were testing engines over by the flight line. People would come visit and ask how do you sleep with all the noise? I guess we just got used to it.

No kidding - not used to the sounds of Freedom. They fly over us, here in LA, often. No biggee.
I’m in the flight path of a a military airstrip. We just pause our conversations until we can hear each other again. I never hear anyone complain
They might, flying like bats out of hades. The ones over us average every three to five minutes, sometimes less, and the most that ever happens is a painting that has to be straightened back up on the wall.
Of course, I’ve lived here for for decades and don’t even hear them anymore.
Not one has ever set off my house alarm.
But why would somebody wet their pants because a car alarm went off?
Everybody has to have a hobby.
Pffft. Pikers.
Loud is the sound of a B1 Lancer at takeoff with full afterburner.
In the right conditions it will echo for 15 miles.
I remember when the B-52s took off at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth.
A couple days after 9/11 I was walking the dogs after dark. No planes were flying yet. 2 fighters (I presume) went overhead from north to south, probably heading towards New York. They were on afterburners and it was one of the loudest things I have ever heard.
That had to be many a moon ago.
When I lived in Tucson, the C-130s flying to and from Davis-Monthan would sometimes set off car alarms. I don’t remember any being set off by jet aircraft.
I guess Obama figures he can keep those Dubliners in line...
B-1B takeoff and flyby was the absolute highlight of the Van Nuys airshow... I would schedule vacations to go visit my brother and catch departure day.
I love that sound.
When I was a kid, the Blue Angels were around, and one flew right over my house, couldn’t have been at any more than 50 feet.
Yeah!
It’s all part of King Putt’s global strategy. A diversionary tactic to attack Ireland should put ISIS in paralyzed fear.
F-35’s make the Blackbird seem like a whisper.
Very short video on what that feels like.

An F-4 with it’s twin J-79 engines flying at treetop height in afterburner will make you deaf for two weeks. Beats the F-35 IMHO. :)
That, dear Irish friends, has long been known as “the sound of freedom.”
