I can't believe people are complaining about the sound of freedom.
I grew up in a cheaply built house in the southern suburbs of Christchurch NZ.
My childhood memories are of hunkering down in bed on frosty still nights so cold you could see your breath in the room, being lulled to sleep by the earsplitting sounds of RNZAF pilot trainees doing night-time circuits from nearby Wigram in Harvards and CT4 Airtrainers.
What a noise.
Even now when I hear an old Harvard at an airshow, I'm instantly transported back to childhood.
I read with envy that due to runway work at Amberley down here in Oz, the Super Hornets will be re-routed over different parts of Brisbane on approach and take off... and the RAAF is apologising to people in advance.
Gentlemen, feel free to come down to Sydney anytime you want - and look out for a wannabe knucklehead kiwi who's eyesight and maths wasn't quite good enough down on the ground raising his hand in salute.
Full military power please.
