Well, from a practical standpoint, after 8 years or so here, you should be able to put what the person you're quoting said, inside,the quote box, and your reply outside of it.. It's OK though, I've had rookies explain to me the problem when everything, quote and response, falls within the quote box. The software is defective. No doubt they're correct, at least in their own mind.What is it you are on about then?
My posting skills are a lot not less better than they never were before.
Are you sh*ttin' me? By the time the diplomats and politicians get done with our robot, it won't even have the power to stop and frisk. That would be politically incorrect, violate the Japanese robot's civil rights, be viewed as police profiling, therefore causing any fruits of that search, to be inadmissible in court.I hear the American bot will be sporting a biga$$ billyclub. LOLOLOL
That's "Fat Albert", support transport for the Navy's Blue Angels. Given all the bad press Bill Cosby has received lately, it gives one pause to wonder if they'll have to change the airplane's name.OMG - I've never seen a C-130 like that before!
Anyway, Albert is part of the show. In addition to that big blast off, the C-130 does several high speed passes at treetop level.
In fact, that demonstration, in addition to the fact that the FA-18's the Angels fly are twin engine, make for a far bertter show than the Air Force's "Thunderbirds". (The F-16 is single engine). Big, big difference between 6 afterburners lit, and a cool dozen going off.
....Perhaps, but they don't produce more tiger tails when grouped in a pride.. The difference between 145 & 143 DB, is for all intents and purposes meaningless. Direct exposure to the exhaust of either plane would likely make you go deaf in a matter of minutes .The Navy fighters are much more imposing. They're bigger, have the whole twin tail, and twin burner can thing going on. But yes, in certain parameters an F-16 will outperform an F/A-18.The JATO runs on fat albert have been over for awhile now but thye were amazing to watch, got to see it twice in my life. Also F-16's in full afterburner produce more noise then legacy F/A-18.

They both will fly circles around a McDonnel-Douglas F-4 "Phantom". But if you look at a Phantom, you'll never mistake for anything other than a fighter jet. It has than mojo down pat.
If we're in it for stats on paper, the lowly EA-6B Prowler, is the loudest of the bunch on the ground at military power. Go figure.
I've actually been to airshows where both teams performed on the same day(s). I've been suffering "air show jones", since they closed the Willow Grove NAS.
One thing that falls in favor of the Air Force T-Birds, it's a ton easier to photograph a white aircraft against a blue sky, than it is to photograph navy blue ones.
Which reminds me, I should drag out the countless rolls of negatives I have of my airshow visits, and scan them into the computer.
