"Jay Honeck" wrote BTW, that was the LOUDEST flight
demo I have ever heard. When he did
the high speed pass on Rwy 36, and heeled over hard to the east in
full afterburner, his thrust vectoring just happened to be directed
right at our position near airshow center (no accident, I'm sure!).

My son and I happened to have our right ears oriented to take the full
brunt of that sound, and I'm here to tell you that my ear HURT for
several minutes. I've been to hundreds of airshows, and even the
Harrier never did *that* to me.

How about the B-1, doing a full burner climb out? Surely it was not louder
than that!

God help me, I loved it...

Yep, me too! g
