Fighters passing by is the sound of merica protecting you, it never gets old

I wish we had afterburners. I'm in the 10, not the 18. I doubt they had afterburners on, fighters are just that loud

F/A-18s are no where near the loudest jets out there, F-16s are louder, and a B-1 has 4 F-16 engines on it

I was spacing out looking at stars and stuff, I didn't hear anything weird. It could be the Navy showing off the jet to politicians or people in the area, I don't know. Sometimes we just land places for fun

EDIT: Another comment found out. It was an EA-18 in town to do a flyover for the Villanova game.

He landed at PHL, I heard him on ATC as we were coming in. It's weird that he went to Philly, he either broke and had to emergency down, or the Navy is up to their tricks

It wasn't the KC-10, I was on it and we aren't that loud. It was an F/A-18 that landed at PHL.

We're usually around 3,000. This particular guy was an F/A-18, heard him on the radio
