Video too. Looking forward to seeing them someday with the Super Hornets, total guess but I bet those will be slightly louder (and don't we all love loud when it comes to fighter jets?).

I hope someday they end up flying F-35's. I've seen one fly, and it was the first time in my life my ears felt a bit of pain from the sound. Not as thunderous and ground shaking as something like a B1 Lancer (or even an old Boeing 727), but wow that thing's engine just SCREAMED...

A GROUP of F-35's??? Yeah, earplugs for sure!

Use of F-35s seems a bit expensive, if the $54,000 hourly cost of flight projected by Popular Mechanics is correct.

"might do it more cheaply than a fighter that costs $45,000 an hour to fly"
