Got some VIP passes to see the NY Air Show down in Newburgh, NY for my son and I before he heads off to college... Never been to one, and holy shit....I was always fascinated with the Harrier...which was first before I was introduced to and completely blown away by the "Super Hornet" F-18 and the "Raptor" F-22. Talk about power...after seeing and learning about these machines, I wonder how stupid an enemy of our country could be....
Yea...there were a lot of vets there. The sound was beyond anything I've ever heard! Extremely intimidating, and if I ever hear those fly over my home I'll know shit's hitting the fan..
Pretty damn stupid!!
F-18 Super Hornet - 1190 mph
F-22 Raptor - 1600 mph
Harrier...hovering over runway..was amazing
