“F-35 is the loudest aircraft I have ever heard.”
Four Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II (STOL variant) were at the Coeur d’Alene Airport a couple weeks ago. They are in the Black Sheep Squadron based in Yuma, AZ. The noise didn’t seem any better or worse than any other jet aircraft even during short take-offs and short landings and we were standing close to the taxiway which is adjacent to the runway.
“B-1 in my opinion. Worse than a B-52.”
Ford Tri-Motor.
Why bother when they will all be mandated to be EV before long.
It makes you deaf.
Then it is stealth.
Stealth is over-rated. Navy’s EA-18 Growler can fry all enemy electronic warfare systems, and destroy them.
Also, I think Boeing is developing a stealth F-15 variant aircraft.
