Darn it -- I hate to hear stories like this. Don't get me wrong -- it's great to have these UK pilots here. But how come their aircraft make the cool sounds? How come our aircraft designers can't keep up? I demand answers, and I demand the USAF get some aircraft that are as loud as any on the planet!
Have you ever heard B1-B's departing Dyess?
Might not be the loudest but I betcha they are damm close.

*notes that husband was a submariner* Not all submariners now. *whispers* Just the nukes and you know most of them don't have common sense anyway. Carter's a great example...

"2000" feet? NO way...for the Tornado..200 feet is considered a "high" approach..maybe we can get the plate glass franchise for the area around the base..

I take it you have never been camping in the takeoff path of a B-52.

Wrong flag, IIRC the Royal Air Force flys the RAF Ensign on their installations:

Listening to the BRAC commission on base closings.
One of the things they took into consideration was encroachment and complaints.
I say if someone is crazy enough to buy a house near and airport or air base they should just learn to accept the consequences of noise.

When I was in elementary school in the early 60s there was a poem the boys thought was clever.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You've got a nose
Like a B52

From my grade school days:
Roses are red
violets are dead
sugar is lumpy
and so is your head!
