Yes, slang from those who sadly lived in the area. Snowbirds should just probably avoid that area of BC/Alberta. They had a fatal crash a short distance away just outside of GP years ago too.

It's a good show, don't get me wrong. Technical proficiency at It's highest. But if their equipment keeps lithobraking, they should consider upgrading.

The RCAF uses the BAE Hawk as a trainer. You'd think it'd be a no brainer to just go with that seeing as the Red Arrows have made theirs work. I know, I know..."that makes sense, which is why they'll never do it."

The term originated from Usenet, I want to say that Scott Manley popularized it early in his KSP video phase and then it later became an Official Space Term when NASA deliberately crashed a probe into the moon

They may not during a show. ATC radars (someone correct me if I’m wrong) aren’t huge fans of close flying aircraft all squawking. That being said, lots of military aircraft don’t have ADSB-Out capabilities.

They were definitely in the airspace over my house this afternoon. Been a few years since I've seen them in person and forgot how loud those unrestricted turbojets are.

They’re low bypass turbofans. Turbojets were even louder.

The JT8D is also a low bypass turbofan, but it’s closer in design to its turbojet predecessor.

We spent three years at Loring AFB when I was 9-12 years old. The wing had B-52Gs—each with eight J57 water-injection turbojets. Impossibly loud.

Didn’t grow up near an air base but the single loudest thing I’ve ever heard was a Harrier doing a hover demo at an air show.

Today was F-35 and P-51 day. From some angles I could hear the V-12 over the jet. My guess is the exhaust headers are pointed the right way to hear them plus the prop noise. My dad used to take me to air shows as a kid and the loudest plane was a very low and very slow B-1 flyover. Stupid loud and probably part of where my tinnitus comes from. Edit: If anyone's at seafair do you know what the third plane flying around with the EA-18G's is? oXDemosthenesXo fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Aug 7, 2022 |
