I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the B-1B is without a doubt the loudest aircraft I've heard (and I've heard a few!). Particularly at 0620 every day en route to bomb the heck out of Tora Bora (USAF obviously obvlivious to the notion that 'routine kills').

F4 Phantom Fighter Jet flying 5 Feet low

But...but...but...there's no sound! Well, there's Ozzy, but he's not an airplane.

You want low-level flybys, try these.


This collection has some cool shots as well.

Technically not Grumman. The original Grumman version is F4F. The FM series was license-built by Martin. This is also the difference between the TBF Avenger and the "Grumman" TBM, which was also built by Martin.

Not your fault, but that of the guy who posted the video.

That's kind of like how the F4U Corsair was originally built by Chance Vought but there where others built by Goodyear and Brewster.

I bet the Bone drivers might be a bit over confident there being no real threat to them in Afghanistan MANPADS but they fly too high for those when they are dropping JADAMs.

I bet they where on the return trip to Diego Garcia and where zapping the locals on the way home.Bone drivers are known to screw around before heading home as are most military pilots.

Like this UH-60 crew screwing around at 50ft.

Lightnings Scramble Wattisham 1967

Look at 00:48 then remember this is 1967

The zoom climb is what you refer to?

It did not get bested until the F-15 came along.

An F-4 crew would have said "wait up please".

Rgr that and hence my reference to the year...the Lightning would probably still hold her own against some aircraft today performance-wise.

1.21 is an Omani Jag at Thumrait (although more than likely ex-RAF crew), I believe.



And here is the proof of Omani low levelness -

Both driver and aircraft survived.

The best bit about the F-15 is that it could do that and not need to refuel straight away.

Oops.

The Jaguar seems to be over looked by many especially here in the US.

I see some Hunters on the tarmac.I saw a show about Israeli pilots they said that only the Jordanian Royal Air Force Hunter pilots where true equals back in 1967.In those dog fights it was a matter of who made the mistake first.
