Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

Autobahn Airport, 1984:



I wonder how practical that would have really been. Presumably the Soviets would have noted every stretch of the highway where the lanes came together for several thousand feet without a median strip.

It's also done routinely in Korea and 'other' locations... And you're probably right everyone of those locations IS marked on a targeting map somewhere...

This is actually pretty common. I'm pretty sure most of the Scandinavian countries are set up for it and I know Poland played with the idea. They're definitely not secret but they're cheap and force the enemy to commit that many more munitions and missions to crippling your air force.

Yeah, SAAB designs their fighters to hit and run off roads, with straightaways designed into their highways every X amount of miles. But you knew that already. ;)

I thought you might like my own, firsthand jet noise on the beautiful island of St. Maarten. I shot these between noon and 4pm last Tuesday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDtureP42fI&feature=youtu.be
