You have that right.

I was in V-2 Cats on CVA-42, ‘60-’62. The Phantoms were THE loudest a/c we launched. They were even louder than the larger A3 Skywarrior bombers.

I was an air traffic controller during my AF days and spent most of my career working F-4’s, both tower and radar. I fondly remember the days when the Wing would surge, everyone wanting to land and takeoff at the same time, single runway, always a couple of barrier engagements, limited holding patterns, somebody declaring minimum fuel, etc. Glory Days.
