Me too. Beautiful little bird.Mike Armstrong said:How come those little Goshawks remind me of an A-4? Neat trainer! Thanks for the pix!
cadillo said:The Navy often flies those type trainers into the local airport, and I live just alongside the final approach, I see and worse yet hear them often. That particular aircraft has to be the loudest one I've ever heard, and I've been around a lot of jet fighters, transports etc. That particular trainer is insanely loud.
cadillo said:I see them on approach to MFE, Miller International at McAllen, TX. I believe they are based at either Kingsville or Corpus Christi, and do a few touch and goes at MFE prior to their return to base.
I used to live in El Centro, CA, where the Blue Angels used to spend the winter, and spent a lot of time looking at and hearing FA18's, F14's, A6's, Harriers, C141's etc., and none of those birds come close to that trainer for decibel production.
