Your Sunday Morning Jet and Rotor Noise

 A-10s and helos operating from a highway:

The annoying music ends as soon as the airplanes start flying.

(People:  The plural of "aircraft" is "aircraft'.  There is no such word as "aircrafts".)

  1. But what's the plural of "aircraft" in Estonian?

  2. @EB .... Has something changed with "blogger" ?? I can see the video link if the page is viewed in MS Edge, but not in Chrome. I haven't tried any other browswers ...
    Anyone else seeing this or something similar?

  4. Sigh... WHY does the Air Force have to make fifty-eleven low passes? If that had been a Navy pilot, there would have been ONE low pass and plunk it on the highway. Of course the Navy has been operating from roads since the 1970s, so we have a 'bit' of experience. Friend of mine did an entire deployment in Korea flying A-7s off their highways...

  5. Old NFO, maybe they were trying to spot the closest golf courses.

  6. I would describe that LZ as sedate, and what's up with the Chinooks? Forty passenger aircraft, but they're embarking a Blackhawk?

  7. Such a ugly, but practical aircraft. Once described as a cannon with wings.

  8. Dale, hated by the Air Force brass, loved by the ground pounders and its pilots.
