The last airshow I went to was Wings & Wheels at Dunsfold a few years ago, to take my sister’s youngest to see the cars (his main interest) and because both my sister & myself rather enjoy aircraft.
During the display by the Typhoon it used reheat & a child started to cry & its mother complained bitterly that they shouldn’t be allowed to be that noisy.
After growing up in Warton & having lived in Farnborough, I can honestly say that a Typhoon on reheat is patheticically quiet compared to some of the aircraft we experienced daily as kids, such as the Lightning chase plane when they were testing the MRCA (Tornado) prototypes.
Society is changing, snowflakes are demanding their delicate ears are not inconvenienced yet they don’t care about their security.
I’ll always remember fondly those summer afternoons spent sitting down the end of the runway, waiting for Lightning & Tornado to take off on full reheat right over our heads, & security coming over to chat as they knew that our parents worked at BAe & we would soon notice any would be Rusky spies looking out of place in the area.
As for my ears, well, they’re still good despite the noise. On the other hand the snowflake has probably gone deaf from measles due to some antivaxxer sympathy.
