Andwil Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Some of my shots from scorching Saturday. Roulettes new Pilatus PC 21 F-35A, looks like a dinky toy on the ground but quite impressive in the air F-22 Raptor F/A-18 Hornets E-7A Wedgetail P-8 Poseidon Hercules Kawasaki C-2 Hudson and Boomerang formation Cessna A-37 Chinook ARH Tiger It wasn't all military, close formation aerobatics One for @Moa, the gorgeous, and very shiny Lockheed 12 Electra Junior and finally Temora's Spitfire XVI Cheers AW (who now realises he should clean his sensor) 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Lovely pics and some of the content taking part are so unique like the Hudson and Boomerang. Makes me wish I had longer over there having just got back from my NZ trip and three day stopover in Oz. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemming Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Great pics. There is a lot of debate here in Denmark about the noiselevels of the F-35 which should be much louder than the F-16. Any views on that? Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemming Not having ever seen an F-16 I can’t comment on its noise level. The F-35 was not any louder than the F/A-18 and certainly not as loud as the F-22. What did strike me about the F-35 is how small it is. AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW I thought the F-35 was pretty loud but what struck me about it was how ugly it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemming The F35 is very loud and perhaps louder than the F16 but to me the F16 has a much higher pitched engine note which is almost a scream and can be really painful on the ears if you don't have defenders on.

I think the F-35 is very loud. The only one I've seen was at Farnborough a few years ago I reckon its much louder than the Harriers ever were when in the hover.

Mr T Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Having only seen one in the flesh, but following the same flight profile as the Tornado and Typhoon visitors to LBA, it is seemed to me a bit less noisy than a Tornado, but the engine noise is definitely different. Lower pitched and a bit of a howl. Slightly off topic, it is surprising how noisy Hawks are in the same approach. Cracking piccies by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
