I’m not sure what kind of books you are reading, but the soviets never invaded Western Europe.

F-14 sonic booms are the best sonic booms.
No, but they can be traveling fast enough that the time it takes for their sound to reach you is greater than the time it takes for them to be overhead. Imagine a right triangle (you remember the Pythagorean theorem, right?) with the hypotenuse being the route that the sound of the plane has to follow to get to your…
In the good ol’ days, before the current “safety” culture of the Air Force became more important than flying, (slightly unfair but not too), some of the jet jocks learned to actually “throw” their booms in certain directions. Probably a lost skill or, at least, an unpracticed one nowadays.
Negative ghost rider, the pattern is full...
Gosh, the Thunderbirds are really far apart even when they’re on the ground! #GoBlues

The G-Suit difference is the F-16's side stick vs. the F-18's center joy stick. The Blue Angels don't want the inflation and deflation of the suit to bump a hand or the stick while close to another jet. Not an issue with the F-16.

This is my little brother’s carrier, so if they pull that shit again there's going to be a MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT when I come over and kick some ass.
I’m getting tired of this Muslim apologist movement. They can do no wrong, I get it. /s
It’s not a big deal, except that it is. Because one of these days it will be a hostile action. And we won’t be ready for it, because we’ve been trained to be ‘tolerant’ of them operating right on top of us. Kinda exactly how the USS Cole situation went down. Oh they’re just small boats, they buzz us all the time.…
