Yeah Buster it's hard to believe it was once true isn't it.
And I love seeing the Skyhawk again. After many airshows I have to say it and the Harrier were the two loudest jets I have ever heard. It may have just been the position I was in or the proximity, but watching a Skyhawk depart from Nowra years ago, the most lasting memory was the sheer volume.
