normiss 806 #29 April 18, 2007 the two escorts do not break the sound barrier...they catch the shuttle after she breaks through...she's just a glider at that point...albeit with a glide ration of an un-powered F-4, a glider none the less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Don 0 #39 April 18, 2007 Quote Quote I thought they caused too much destruction and were outlawed. What aircraft broke the sound barrier in Dublin? The King Air? It was probably an F-15 that broke the sound barrier in Dublin... (Robins AFB is pretty close by...) For a few years they made them fly out over the ocean to do those maneuvers because of the complaints. After 9-11 That went by the wayside, I guess it became a "good" sound to some. I know I don't mind hearing our boys up there doing what keeps the rest of us safe. Small price to pay on our part.I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

ExAFO 0 #40 April 18, 2007 Quote F-4's breaking the sound barrier as they leave...ALL hours of the night... F-4s...proof positive that ANYTHING will fly given enough thrust...and when the engine quits...the glide path of a brick.Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.
