There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I see these many times a day 1000ft and less above my home, only a few(2) miles from the runway they use often for touch and go's at Wright Patterson AB
The transports are loud at low attitude, But I think the F 117 and B-2 are louder..
The new fighters F-22 and the F-35 are really loud too..
They used to have B-52's and F4 phantoms when I was a young hobbit here, they were very loud also..
A SAC base back in the 60's and 70's
Get to see everything the Air force has flying around here from the work in research and development done at Wright Patterson....

You can always tell when a C-5 is approaching or flying by, even if it is above the clouds for fog. The high bypass fans on the engines make a whine unlike any other airplane.
When jumping from them, they descend and loose altitude as they cross the drop zone so that they don't stall. The airspeed limits on the T-10, MC and SF series of parachutes is at or below the stall speed of the big plane. When the last jumper is out, the pilot reves those big turbofans up ricky tick!
