Typhoon is noisier (like for like) than F3 at particular power settings. Di-Con nozzles and all that. Typhoon produces more thrust both dry and wet. Point is converting that thrust to forward motion is a lot less of a problem. Noise production is a function of drag (excess energy). Work it out yourself. More you stick on that increase drag the more noise you are going to make.

Typhoon will get airborne without RH. Nice young things in cockpit wanting to impress the girlfriend will proably ignore that fact, so aircraft will carry a tag of being noisy.

BEagle, I notice in your comparison you missed one very important factor. You did not include Marham i your analysis. As one of the handful of bases left once the North-South devide has been created it is a hole, and that is where lots of people will have to work.

Choise of Moray or Swamp, I know were I will be off.
