New found love and respect for certain planes

The screeches and howls of an RF-4B breaking into the landing pattern ...

Nothing else like it!

I wish I was around for those. I caught a little bit of F-4 action out at Rosey Roads PR in the late 80s...they sounded like someone dragging a steel table across the concrete when on approach.

Not as glamorous as the other aircraft in this thread but I feel the same way about the 727. As a kid, I used to watch them taking off from BOS on hot, muggy summer days. It looked like they could barely get airborne, trailing black smoke as they passed overhead (loudly). Most were pretty dirty but for some reason, they always looked like elegant workhorses.

It's just not the same watching those quiet, smokeless 737's and A320's taking off.

A-10 Warthog for sure. I used to mildly hate them until my son convinced me to build one. After a year, it's almost complete and now I LOVE the HOG! Such an interesting aircraft/machine when you get into all the details that make it tick.
