I was once at an air show where a jet did a vertical turn below the height of the control tower. I could hear the wings cracking - a lot like the engine of a car ticking down when it's hot. There was water condensing off the wing tips. It was pretty cool.

@aaronmicalowe To bad you don't have a video. Would of been cool to see!

[lama103]

what's so bizarre about it?

[Xrm150]

@lama103 The sound.

[r0ckstarnl]

Happens when speed of the air entering and exiting the turbines matches the speed of the aircraft in flight.

[Xrm150]

@r0ckstarnl Thanks. I did not know that. I hear it on some of my other videos but not as long or loud as this one.

@spudgunster "Bull shit! It has to do with air turbulence but not at a certain exhaust speed. Only F-18s make this sound."

I hear airliners making precisely the same sound over my house on a regular basis.

"Who knows what on the airplane makes the sound."

People who know how the engines work. Like the guy you just needlessly swore at.

[Tarponboy1995]

The sound is made when the blades in the turbine are spinning slower then what the air speed is and it creates that whistling effect I hear that all the time at my house from airliners flying over landing at TIA.

[MrGeforcerFX]

it's something to do with airspeed and the speed of air going into the turbines, can't remember exactly,but i love that sound, especially in a blue angels performance when the diamond does and u have 4 of them doing it at once.

[returnoframbo]

thats weird

[ommerrill]

@aaronmicalowe As an aerospace engineer I can pretty much guarantee you didn't hear the wings cracking.

[1bearcatf8f]

you hear this alot if you have seen the blue angel's

[stpeteitsok]

Almost sounds like an f104 starfighter thats awsome tho

[spudgunster]

@r0ckstarnl Bull shit! It has to do with air turbulence but not at a certain exhaust speed. Only F-18s make this sound. Who knows what on the airplane makes the sound. I hear the blues making this noise every year.

[nexus1g]

I hear that sound all the time from the F-15's flying overhead from PDX.

That was sooo cool! Also, props on your videoing skills man. Most people that take videos of these try to watch it in person while videoing it and they end up messing up the shot completely.
