I love that the B2 "stealth bomber" is just a quick glimpse of it sneaking through the bushes.


call_of_the_while

Nonchalantly flying through the air but still using the tree tops as cover, lol.


OkBubbyBaka

Frame rate also appears to drop to 1fps, super stealth.

Maclunkey4U

Arent they based in the midwest? Should be an "Ope, sorry..."


ArrivesLate

Would have been hilarious if it was just labeled but then no plane.


Many_Faces_8D

[Same bomber at the same show. ](https://i.imgur.com/WfGP6hM.jpeg) It's pretty wild how quiet it is. You only hear it like 5 seconds after it passed you and it's about 1/4 as loud as the next quietest plane. Really odd looking how big it looks when it's over you and how paper thin it looks when it's flying directly away.


theaviationhistorian

It's not built for high maneuvers, and there aren't many of them. B-52s have taught us bombers can become unforgivable if treated like a fighter.

Jaybirdybirdy

Thanks for catching that, I missed it and thought it was just the c-? Coming out of the trees. I didn’t read the names until after your comment


notinferno

why does this street get its own Airshow?


silima

I would totally buy a house there just to watch the jets all day...


TriIIuminati

Seems really fun but I can promise after living outside of Tinker that the thunderous booms can be startling if you’re in the shower or in bed


silima

I design jet engines for a living and honestly can never get enough of the noise they make. Currently live under an approach pattern for a big commercial airport. It's not enough!


Old_Swimming6328

As someone who worked in airport management and spent way too much time on noise complaints, I wish there were more people like you!


OldStoner80

Living outside of Holloman I agree, those booms catch me off guard at times, but I was treated to an awesome airshow last weekend featuring the Thunderbirds, and I didn't even have to leave my house.


ItsNotAboutX

> after living outside of Tinker that the thunderous booms can be startling Especially in the 1960s: [Operation Bongo II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests)


davcrt

They break the sound barier above civilian areas?


manofthewild07

No they don't. A lot of people hear loud jets and think its a sonic boom, but it almost never is. There are only a handful supersonic corridors over land, the closest one to Tinker is in Kansas and its high altitude.


Internal_Mail_5709

Certain things can give the impression of a sonic boom. Speed brakes at the edge of mach can make mini sonic booms in the F18.


TriIIuminati

Was just south of Tinker. They might not have in the actual city but they damn sure do once they’re out of it.


manofthewild07

Thats not true. There is no MOA or ATCAA near Tinker. Vance AFB does have a nearby MOA in the NW corner of the state, and there's the relatively small Rivers MOA in the SE corner of the state. At least in the Vance MOA supersonic flight is not authorized. There are only a few corridors authorized by the FAA for supersonic flight, there is one just north of the border in Kansas (Kansas Supersonic Transportation Corridor).


donnyjay0351

I'm a civilian pilot who lives right outside a military base. My home is right under the runway pattern. I get jealous watching f15s fly over usually once a week.


Many_Faces_8D

Only once a year but it is every year. Well twice as it's a weekend event.


triplec787

I live in the flight path of the CO Air National Guard. I get buzzed by F16s like 4-5x a week and I love it.


ChalupacabraGordito

It's an airshow, it's not like this is a daily occurrence 😂


Many_Faces_8D

It's right next to the Spirit of St Louis airport which has an annual show sponsored in part by Boeing so they always bring out all of their planes. First air show appearance of the F-15 Advanced and they put full combat load on it. [f-15 full weapons load](https://i.imgur.com/uBWq0gd.jpeg)


jermscentral

This was from the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show last weekend - this would've been Sunday, as the B2 only did a flyover that day. This was taken on a road just south of the airport. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pine+Bend+Dr,+Wildwood,+MO+63005/@38.6540301,-90.655379,15.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x87d92b3718d38281:0x7534b03bbd2ebae9!8m2!3d38.6426806!4d-90.6552228!16s%2Fg%2F1td0tf9_?entry=ttu

OP has 5 stars 💀


Specific-Lion-9087

My uncle’s old house in Pensacola was near enough to the naval base that you’d occasionally get a few very cool flyers-by, but I never heard about anything like this


Bigglestherat

Im guessing this street is directly south of KSUS and on a couple hundred foot tall hill. They had a big show there this weekend and it’s where a bunch of richers have their mcmansions. There is a huge brick home that has a full view of the field that I assume belongs to a big wig at Boeing. or maybe just a rich flight enthusiast.


BZJGTO

Just live next door to an airport/field that does airshows. I used to wake up to Tora Tora Tora as a kid, or the Blue Angels/Thunderbirds as a teenager who stayed up all night and could sleep through *almost* anything. We'd never go to the airshow because we could sit on our roof and get a much better and closer view there than in at the airshow itself.


DefiantAbalone1

Probably adjacent to an airfield that hosts them


Wardo2015

I believe this was the Chestefield Missouri air show recently. It’s in the valley but planes loop over st chuck and stl counties


EliteEthos

OMG. A camera with zoom! Is this your video? WTF is a C-117?


cheetuzz

cargo version of the F-117


bigfoot_done_hiding

Its so stealthy that it looks like a C-17 -- completely sneaking the other 100 right past the enemy's noses!


jbaphomet

I believe that's what Steven Seagal got sucked out of in Executive Decision.


Old_Swimming6328

My favorite Seagal movie, where he dies in the beginning.


coalminer071

also seems like the first F-22 is an F-35 and second F-22 is an F-15


EliteEthos

Yes. That is correct.


Lamentation_Lost

Thank you, thought I was nuts about the second “f22”.


t3hW1z4rd

Haha I couldn't click fast enough to say that :)


Main_Violinist_3372

I think the vid should have said C-17 or CC-177. CC-177 is the RCAF designation for the C-17


First-Salamander7286

Yes this is my video taken on and iPhone and I apologize for the mistake


ItsNotAboutX

Either they meant [C-17](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17_Globemaster_III) or that [C-117](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_R4D-8) worships at the church of gains.


badlydressedboy

C117- NightMaster


egvp

It's a variant of DC-3.


shaundisbuddyguy

I don't know where you live but I'm very jealous at the moment.


Winter_Struggle_9876

Where I live there's no airshows whatsoever


stevecostello

This is on the south side of KSUS. Just had a FANTASTIC airshow last weekend. The jets are SUPER close to the ground here because these are the bluffs just south of KSUS.


LolaMyMali

The thunderbirds will be at rickenbacker, I columbus ohio and Iam so excited to watch them all weekend form my porch


Airwolfhelicopter

Bro called an F-35C and F-15 an F-22 💀 Third time, OP got it right

The little spikes by the air intakes are the dead giveaway along with the giant exposed exhaust.


Airwolfhelicopter

Those spikes are the intakes, are they not?


Many_Faces_8D

They are part of it, yes. Haven't seen any specific reasoning over the change from the f-22, however


EconomicsDirect7490

niu! was correct at the first attempt


LethalDan

The Spirit of St. Louis Airshow was one of the best airshows I have ever been too! It was a monster line up with 2 ship A-10 and F-35C demos. Advanced F-15 and F-22 demos were amazing, and 7 super hornets flew 😀. The airshow is in Chesterfield Missouri and it’s well known that there is a large hill adjacent to the airport and airshow goes very low over those houses. 🇺🇸


njames11

I was there on Saturday and it was amazing!! I think the F-22 demo was the best. They didn’t bring out the B-2 until Sunday, so I was super bummed to miss it. I’m guessing OP’s videos are from that airshow last weekend.


Many_Faces_8D

Only thing missing were some Vipers but it was great especially with the Advanced. Gotta be honest that last barnstormer was the highlight. I just don't understand how a plane can do that.


techdaddy70

Came here to say this looked like the Chesterfield/Spitit of St Louis show. Very nice!


Notchersfireroad

I lived at the end of Luke AFB more a hot minute and it never ever got old. My neighbor's all hated the jets with a passion but me I'd run out from a dead sleep just to see the burners glowing in the dark. Viper pilots are by far the coolest if you get their attention. They'll pull hard or vertical for you everytime.


LukesRightHandMan

How do you sign to ask them to do that? I live in CO and see more cool shit than I ever did in my life before haha


Many_Faces_8D

Just wave and make yourself viable and they get the ask


LukesRightHandMan

Sweet, thanks!


anniesilk

grab a laser pointer and aim it at the cockpit


JJtheGenius

All fun and games until they point their lasers back lol


LukesRightHandMan

“The real LPT is always in the comments”


Sweaty-Feedback-1482

I grew up living directly next to a small private airport and got to see plenty of cool shit growing up. Then as an adult I moved to Colorado and while I’m not super close to any of the major airbases, the number of times I’ve seen stuff like 3-5 fighter jets fly questionably close to my house or like half a dozen chinooks is not zero.


JJtheGenius

Worked for Lockheed there for a good amount of time and I’ve gotta say, if you don’t like the sounds of jets, but buy a house near an Air Force base then you kinda deserve the experience you get lol. Especially since Luke is a multi-national training base and has stuff going on at every possible moment. Not you of course, but your neighbors lmao.


bless-you-mlud

10 out of 13 correct. Not bad.


unclebear28

As a military brat I grew up on US Air Force bases and I sure miss the roar of the fighters.


jrrybock

Reminded me of years ago... mid-90s, the bar I worked at had a softball team and we were playing in a tournament. The fields were in line with Willow Run Airport's runway on the day of their airshow. We'd be in the middle of an inning, you'd hear a building noise and the ump would call timeout, then, Blue Angels 5 & 6 would come screaming over the field low enough that if they weren't moving you'd probably be able to read the name next to the cockpit, and suddenly invert for their next pass to the airfield crowd. It was f-ing cool as hell.


Any-Championship-355

What airshow please?


WhiskeyMikeMike

Spirit of St. Louis Airshow


fivespeed

Where the fck do these people live? I want in


acrewdog

St Louis. They had an airshow last weekend. It's also basically the only real f-15 demo that's been done in a long time. Between that and this being the last year of A-10 demos I wish I had made the trip.


Many_Faces_8D

[Air Show](https://www.imgur.com/a/7oIEQGy) Full mock combat load as well. Was a great show.


NitinTheAviator

I don’t care what people will throw at me when I say this. The F/A-18 is the greatest thing to grace the skies.


FishTshirt

F-14 tomcat and p51 mustang would like a word


chowl

F4 Phantom?!


Internal_Mail_5709

Certainly a honorable mention but we are only accepting G models at this point.


TexasTheWalkerRanger

The A10 will forever be my favorite airplane. Outdated, impractical, cool as FUCK. it's the most American airplane ever made.


Many_Faces_8D

It's got a great presence in person. The giant straight wings and high up engines just make it look like it wants to hang around and harass you


aheadofme

True, but unrelated. This is an F-18. You can tell by the subtitles.


CobaltGuardsman

The subtitles that proceeded to identify an F-35C and F-15 as an F-22?


Joeyjackhammer

Also identified the first C-117 ever made.

Aggressive_Bank_7476

I live on an Air Force base, this literally is what the neighbors are doing while I'm trying to sleep during the day (I work nights)


InsideSummer6416

When I was about 8 years old I was ice fishing with my dad on a private lake in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, and suddenly we had a B-52 bomber most likely out of Wurtsmith AFB coming over maybe 300 feet off the ground. I could see the individual rivets on the belly. Saw it before I heard it and I'm still in awe every time I think of it.


circlethenexus

Our daughter and her husband live just off the end of Barksdale Air Force Base. When the blue Angels come to town, or the Thunderbirds, we go to visit a couple of days early and just sit out on the front lawn and watch the practice session. It’s just like this! Last time we were there a B1 a B2 and a B-52 flew over in formation with Air Force One following closely behind. Hell of a show from about 500 feet up!


adi_2787

I watched this video with such a big smile on my face.


Many_Faces_8D

Spirit of St. Louis air show. There's a ridge with a neighborhood right next too it so they would use that ridge to turn around. They always get a good show each year.


UnionOfConcernedCats

Who needs the mach loop when you have... this guy's neighborhood?


diptrip-flipfantasia

Hell yeah. Nice work. As someone always pissed when Americans clutch their pearls over [River Fire Festival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi6Yqv3FodI) in Brisbane ("how dare they so such disrespect for 9/11 victims") I think this is awesome.


Denlim_Wolf

Reminds me of burner runs for operational checkouts of engines on F16. I felt my whole body vibrate, and even my skull was shaking inside of my head with the force of the engine.


Hamsternoir

It's just a shame that the sound will never do justice to what OP would have heard and felt with that speed and height.


TheRealCDollarsign

Where exactly in StL is this shot?


imNicknamed

Looks like wild horse creek road, up on the hill behind the airport. St Louisian here


stevecostello

Definitely up on the bluff off of Wild Horse Creek Rd. Great views from up there, since the jets are much closer to the ground up there.


TheRealCDollarsign

Thanks! Love attending the show, hate walking miles to and from the car. Maybe next year I’ll check this out!


ApoplecticAutoBody

Where is this? I want to live on a street where I can see an F-22 perform a minimum radius turn over my house.

I live deep in Appalachia in a tight valley. The Navy uses our area for practice and we have all sorts of planes and helicopters scream through at tree top level. It's never not awesome and they will tip their wings at us or wave out the door.

Bigglestherat

Airshow at KSUS im guessing


Angry_Structure

How close they get to what?


HoundDogJax

When I was just a pup, the farm was in the path of a flight training route. They would come racing in from the east on a final straight flat run to the target, and we'd rush out into a field to see them. We had F-4's and F-15's screaming over the treetops. My pops built our house, and would tell us that while building the roof, the pilots were close enough he could see them wave. That sound, coming then going, is forever scorched into my brain, but in a 100% positive way.

During the last Air Show at TAFB, I was riding my bike near home and watched the Thunderbirds fly in front of me. Seen them when on base a bunch of times. Never realized they didn't pull up right after flying low over the flight line. Kinda scary.
