saw an f35 yesterday
« on: November 20, 2012, 06:03:37 AM »
yesterday at work we heard a jet coming over, and noticed it was the f35(99% positive it was).  I guess burlingon vermont residents are throwing a fit about it because it is loud.  didnt seem tooo awfully loud to me.

I say deal with it, I grew up next to Ft.Carson military base and heard artillary and tanks all day and night, and just about any military bird you can think of. :devil

Stupid people.  You bought a house near an airport AND a military base and you expect peace and quiet?

Duh!

Oh you should have heard the crying here in Niceville.

The city sued the airforce citing lowering property values and disturbing the peace or some other horse manure.

The 35 is a unique noise for sure. Most jets make a tearing nose and the 35 is much throatier roaring noise. i like it  :)

Is it Burlington that has a unit of F-16s based there?

Not going lie I hated being in Springfield, MA the past 4 years for undergrad due to the Air Force Base located up in Westover and etc.  Damn fighter jocks always thought it was funny to fly low early in the morning.  Always waking me up from much needed sleep lol.  Seeing the huge cargo planes as well made you wonder how they are even flying.  In the afternoon it was a spectacle to see, but hearing early morning buzzes was not a thing I liked to hear.  You name it, Ive seen it including F22s.

Now the only thing I hate now is while I dont have to deal with the Air Force, at least that Ive seen in Valhalla, NY, do have a hospital on campus at this medical school.  On top of just being a hospital it is the major trauma hospital for Westchester.  That equals out to helicopters going in and out every hour which sucks in the morning because the damn helicopter pilots do like fly over the dorms.
