Another exercise comes to mind. This time a high level Vulcan declared an emergency with an engine problem overhead. Clanging of bells and the crash crews were ready in seconds - and then had to wait 20 minutes before the big "Manta Ray" reached ground level!

After repairs the customary farewell pass was requested. As you know the Vulcan had a healthy noise footprint even without afterburners - sorry reheat to you - and as it passed a small village by the fence, the phones started ringing. A woman complained that that DRAKEN! was way too low.

Best regards
