One thing is for sure, them things are loud. Sneak up quick, then blow you away with their sounds

Dink 10-30-2011 04:27 PM

I was in lafeyette wednesday and I was watching them fly by the apartment complex that I clean carpet at. off Pinhook. it was definitely a sight to see that thing flew by a least 10x.

I used to live near the airport and those F-18s would almost knock out my windows. I can't imagine what it would sound like if they were flying over in a war zone. That would intimidate the hell out of anyone.

I got to fly in one of the Thunderbird F-16s about 25 years ago. It was a hoot and a half. We took off from Chenault and climbed 12,000 feet straight up in just a few seconds. I got to fly the plane and do a couple of barrel rolls. I still have the video of that somewheres. Because of the pressure suit, I didn't lose my lunch, unlike my flight in an A-37 when I puked all over the cockpit and the pilot sitting next to me.

Most probably a T-6 Texan advanced trainer, they are "plentiful" as far as that type aircraft go...

Feesherman 11-01-2011 07:53 PM

Where's the mustangs and coursairs? I love the old birds!

This past spring I was camping in Kisatchie and turkey hunting. After I killed my opening morning bird the A-10's were fly low level right over my camp and diving down onto peason ridge. Just as the sounds of the jet engines faded you could hear their guns whirring. Man what a show they put on for me.

Had 2 A-10 Warthogs fly over my middle school at roughly 300 feet (I know this cuz they were about even with the top of the cell phone tower in Gonzales) when I was in about 3rd or 4th grade. They were single filed and shook their planes when they were over the playground. Talk about cool to see that at 7-8 years old.

When I go bring Fowler to NAS Belle Chasse, I park in the lot at the end of runway and sit there and just watch F15s, F16s, F18s and Super Cobra, and Apache attack helos take off.
