Second loudest airplane I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching, and certainly one of the most impressive. Nothing that big should be able to maneuver the way the Bone does.

If you post a thread about a photo, a picture would be nice.

You're welcome. :)

TexasCajun, I should have made the Airliners.net-supplied photo link

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0898225/L/

a part of the original post. It would've made accessing the photo a bit easier. Sorry about that.

Here's Dirk Voortmans' (the photographer) WWW site:

I was at an airshow a few years back, and a Harrier jet was doing maneuvers right in front of me - hovering, going side to side, that sort of thing.

I thought my eardrums were going to burst.
