Heard it and seen it. I thought the Tornado F.3 was loud (and the F-14 Tomcat), but the Typhoon is noisier still. And also incredibly manoeuvrable.leo-rcc wrote:One small nitpick.

A B-1B once flew right over my house. But then our local air show (currently on hiatus) really is local for me. I just have to walk out the door and down the road ...Calilasseia wrote:Not posting pictures, but some observations.
[1] I've seen the B-1B Lancer at Mildenhall. Impressive when you realise that this is a bomber aircraft that carries 20 tons of bombs, yet the pilot can throw it around the sky like a fighter jet. The party pieces at Mildenhall included a 45° semi-ballistic climb from takeoff, a supersonic fly-past at 300 feet over the crowd, and some angle-of-attack gymnastics that take serious skill in an aircraft that's as long as three articulated lorries. Oh, and four afterburners are seriously impressive when you hear them close up.
