My personal favorite is the U-2. I lived for 10 years about two miles from Moffet Field, in California, home of the Ames Research Center. They flew U-2s quite a bit. There is no mistaking the roar of the engine during the takeoff roll, the aircraft pitching up to about a 45 degree climb, and then holding the climb until the aircraft is out of sight, but not out of hearing. The roar can be heard for minutes as it climbs straight out.

My dad talks about being just four or five miles away while 52’s bombed the Ho chi min and how everything shook and a deep rumble accompanied as well.He later seen holes where the bombs hit.Air support saved his outfit more than once.Thank you to every service man and to my hero and father Dale

In 1991 in Huntsville Alabama, on Veterans day, there was a fly by of a B-52 and other assorted jets. When I first saw them, they were like a mile high, was disappointed, so I went home. Not 30 minutes later, as I was sitting on my front porch, I saw a B-52 in the distance coming right towards me. It didn't take long to get to me and came screaming over where I was sitting, maybe 700 to 1000 feet high going at least 450mph. Shook the ground, rattled my windows and was gone in seconds. That was the best low level flight I have ever seen!

Excellent video. Vulcan. I saw it while at OTS in San Antonio in 1970. It made me really hope to make it through pilot training after finishing OTS, which I did. I was then fortunate to be able to fly the A7-D before getting out of the USAF after 8 years. The roar of many shown is what makes them so impressive. Such was the case with the Concorde, flying over Kiawah Island, on it's way back to England after dropping off their team for the 1990 Ryder Cup. A definite goose bump moment.

As a youngster i had the chance to see the Vulcan take off many times. I lived in Lutterworth and we always knew when it was going to fly because they warmed up the engines for about fifteen minutes and you could hear them five miles away. Just long enough to ride my bike to the airfield . the road was a hundred yards from the runway and i will never forget that monster taking off in a huge cloud of blue smoke. I also remember the B-52's flying over our house heading for Bruntingthorpe air base ,it was like they blotted out the sun to a small child.
