    You can't mistake the tone...I was cleaning the garage the other day and I heard that whine. I yelled, "Raptors!" like the the excited 10 year old that I am and ran outside just as two flew overhead. I want one.

    Had two carrier based Goshawk's, do an "Air Show" for us last week.

    I heard they were on a X-C training mission, and did an
    overnite stop to see family in the area..
    I got close to the aircraft when they were in the FBO, but didn't get to meet the pilots.

    But they took off one after the other, about 100' apart,
    and did a few formation manuevers, (climb, turns and dives),
    a touch and go, and a low level flyby.

    And I was only one hundred feet from the taxiway, (I work for the Airport) as they taxied by.
    Lasted all of ten minutes, and I guess the family was at the gate watching.

    Nice though! They are extremely quiet when landing.....
    but loud as (that hot place), when taking off with full power.


    Just like GA planes,.......
    One, was all polished and shiny,
    the other needed a good wash & wax job...
