I spent two months at Nellis AFB doing the op-eval tests of the v22. Our work spaces were towards the end of the runway and only about one taxiway away. I thought I was going to be crazy by the time I left there. I mean who launches a dozen f16s at 11 at night? Those damn things were so loud that in our bird with the apu running, extremely loud in itself, and our david clarks on you still had to stop talking until after they left.
We very quickly learned to love the a-10s.![Big Grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
Kinda funny how some people think one is louder than another, but I personally believe the f16 to be the most obnoxious over the other jets Ive heard (ea-6, f15, f18, f22, a10, av8b, and a few foreign jets that I dont know the names of)
Only thing louder, and only bc of the proximity I think is when you're on a LHD and a av8 goes screaming by you about 20 ft away. It literally hurts.
