Oh God! That Howl of the J79 engine is just pure goosebumps. My dad told me stories about when he was stationed at Edwards AFB. He would stand on the flight line, and listen to the pilots just play with the throttle during taxi to make them howl.... ooooo i am sleeping well tonight :D

That's funny, because unless there is some special "airshow" going on, if people see F16s taking off on taxiways, they might want to think about running out to their cars and heading out while they can.

I remember this day clearly. I was in 2nd grade at school when I saw all the starfighters in formation. very cool and VERY noisy :)

If the F104 Starfighter was upgraded-electronics, weapons, and so on-it would today's skies.

I love the F104

I grew up in Bodo and the sound of the run- up was great. Just one runway. Pretty cool also, I got to see the cousin of the 104, SR-71, take-off from there. Very sweet. Gotta say Bodo is a great town.

Wrong,one runway.The F-16s take off and land on the taxiway

[Dutchie66]

Bodo, has two parallel runways, one primary (taken by the F-104) and a smaller secondary, that's the one the F-16's use.

Pure joy to listen to the J79s.

However, pls note that the F16s both took off and landed on the taxiway!!!!!!

Pure nostalgia! I grew up near Kjeller (main maintenance base of the Royal norwegian airforce)that sound of the J79 was part of the soudtrack of my childhood.. I haven't heard the sound of an F 104G for years. Thank you.
