Spruemeister Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What happened to the No Flying Directly Over The Crowd rule? Not that I'm complaining. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hogdriver Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The first video was taken at the Mach loop in Wales. I'll guess those are LN birds And to be honest for the mach loop they are still pretty high . Seen photo's and video's from RAF fighters lower . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What happened to the No Flying Directly Over The Crowd rule? Not that I'm complaining. Rick L. That doesn't look like a very main stream air show or anything. May have been just a local thing at a base? Not sure why they titled it missed approach. Those look like flybys to me. They have since stopped sadly but at my local Kent State airport (University owned where they have a flight school) they have an airplane heritage day every year. Apparently one of the guys who graduated from KSU and learned to fly at that very airport worked in some dept of the Pentagon and setup to have 2 F-15s do flybys for the show each year. Being a very rural area there never were any high speed passes BUT at the end of the runway is a golf course so we would stand in the parking lot and the 15s would come right at us. Once clearing the end of the runway they would pull straight up and break to the left. You could literally feel the heat from the engines and the roar was outstanding. Never have I seen anything like it. Story is though that the guy who set it up has since been transferred so this hasn't happened for a few years :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That's just awesome!! Nothing like the roar of an F-15! Thanks for sharing the videos! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Thanx Holmes, I wasn't feeling like much today, till I saw this.....now I ready for ACTION!!!. I might even go wheelchair racin' :lol: ...And to be honest for the mach loop they are still pretty high . Seen photo's and video's from RAF fighters lower . Yup, go to youtube and the RAF kids are flat out down in the weeds with the Gophers, especially the Tornado and Harrier drivers, the Hawks seemingly go below that!!!.

Les / Creative Edge Photo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Cool videos As to F-15's sound I found out when I'd observe F-15's coming in to land that as they were in their last phase right before touch down these F-15's would emit these chirping, whistling effects. I figured it was something to do with the pilot riding the throttles but just was not sure exactly what made those cool chirping/whistling sounds just before the F-15's were to touch ground.

I am almost positive thats the exhaust nozzle opening and closing, well your actually hearing the actuators.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les / Creative Edge Photo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I am almost positive thats the exhaust nozzle opening and closing, well your actually hearing the actuators.. Yeah, I though maybe that, it certainly sounds unique and cool. Not the cool sound of say the F-104 but cool enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Ok not sure if this will work. If someone wants to embed it that'd be great I don't know how plus I'm on my phone. This is one of the years the F-15s visited KSU. I you watch the video when they break up and to the left I would have been standin right underneath that point. It was truly epic. Hey it embedded itself! Edited July 4, 2012 by Bigasshammm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
