@@scammer3967 SU 57 has a stuka howl going on, the the F104 is almost wolf like. Both better than the F18 and easily on par with the Vulcan, though, i think the 104 beats them all.
I live near an air force base in Canada, it's not a fighter base but they come in often, I rush outside whenever I hear this sound....of course, I'm always too late to see it.
Lovely sound, tbh I’ve heard longer howls. Swiss F18 fly quite regularly over my house, around 1000-2000ft, prob no more than 350kts, they howl, and due to the lower speed, it’s last quite long, long enough to hear it, identify it then run outside and they are overhead. When I lived in the Scottish Borders, the Tornados roared… you hear it, ram outside while smashing up the kitchen furniture, and if you were lucky and looked the right way, you may see a disappearing tail fin…or even luckier, a second jet passed over! The 80’s and 90’s were great times for low fliers in Scotland!
Back in 2006 I was working for a company that did boiler maintenance and me and another tech were working at an apartment complex in south east Ohio not too far from the Ohio river. Maybe 6-8 miles. We were walking down the driveway between 2 4 story buildings when we began to hear the loud roar of what was obviously some sort of jet. It didn't sound like it was moving fast and the roar just lingered and slowly got louder and louder til it sounded like it was nearly on top of us. We both started to run down the driveway to clear the buildings to see what the hell was going on and then we saw it. It was an F18 flying VERY slowly, looking to me like it was almost hovering and he was at very ,low level. The extreme loudness seemed a bit off relative to how slow he was moving. Scary as shit. We wondered if he was about to crash or was having trouble. He finally went further away and cleared out of the area. We thought something wasn't right there and maybe would be on the news later on that day. But nothing. We didn't hear about anything and never did find out what that was all about. The really odd thing about it IMO is the fact that there is no Naval or Marine base anywhere in the area so that only added to the mystery.
When the plane slows down, the wings produce less lift. Since you lose that upward force fighting gravity you then have to point the noise up and increase power in the engines. Very inefficient but it lets you fly slower than your landing speed that way. Pilots often do what are called "FAM" or familiarization flights where the objective is simply to just fly the plane and learn how it behaves, so that may of been why. That said if there are no Naval or Marine bases, I would suspect an airshow as the slow speed pass is a common maneuver in military demonstrations. If there are no airshows near by that the pilot may have been practicing for, sometime pilots from one branch will fly in training missions for other branches, so maybe a FAM flight was squeezed in during this time just to keep current. Hard to say since I wasn't there.
@@aviationrambler Wow, that indeed makes perfect sense now. Wright Pat is of course near Dayton Ohio however they apparently have a corridor that they will fly training missions in that does in fact include down through the area I was working in(so I have been told). Related to what you say, I'd bet that aircraft flew out of Wright Pat that day. I had wondered that at the time but not knowing details like you provide here I just thought at the time that an FA/18 is a Navy and Marine aircraft so I didn't even consider Wright Pat as the source. I've wondered about that whenever I remember it. He had those engines roaring and as I say, he looked like he was just cruising along at a snail's pace. Thank you for your reply/info!
Do a low pitched whistle with your lips, or blow through a pop bottle opening. Air passing through will resonate at a certain velocity, the same is true for intakes. The Hornet's intakes are very circular so it tends to howl a lot. Raptors also howl while taxiing when they increase power from idle, the Vulcan and F-35 both howl at certain speeds, even the P-51 does it.
thanks man im thinking can the viper do it too? it would be cool if I could do it too in dcs but when the camera is in front of the F-16 it does a howl but it's not like a hornet does it
@@ViperLV05 The F-16 doesn't really howl, probably due to its small intake. The F-110, (Same engine as the F-15) is known for two things. A high pitched whisper when taxiing, that a high pitched whine when the nozzle makes adjustments. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fLhoUfd4shQ.html
That’s no howl you should hear the Avro Vulcan the ground shook your body vibrating and yours ears popped… sadly I don’t think there’s a flying example today but plenty of iTunes clips and it’s size is incredible for its agility
