LOL.... I knew the McLaren wouldn’t stand a chance with an F-35. Kinda like bringing a knife to a gunfight, you’re gonna lose. Cool video though and enjoyable to watch.

That's cool. You know, being a "B" version, all he had to do is put it in a hover all the way around and he still would have won.

Very entertaining! I tell ya, I’ve seen and heard F-16s for probably 40 years now. But the F-35 makes the F-16 sound weak. When you see them and hear them in person, they grow on you.

I found it funny that the more modern and "stealth" the jet is, the louder it is.

Yeah, acoustic stealth is yet to be invented. Maybe learn from the Owl...

Actually, I was surprised that the B-2 was so quiet when it flew over. You didn't hear the roar until it was well past. Then again, if it was actually bombing you; it wouldn't matter anyway.

Very true on both points Mark. At low level, the B-2 is quite quiet, the F-117 as well. And at the Combat altitudes that both types typically operated at when dropping bombs they would be more quiet than the typical modern airliner at the same altitude. And if you are their intended target? Well, when you’re checking in with St Peter or Lucifer that should be you’re first clue...
