    Last week they (CF-188) seem to be departing YVR around 13:00 to 14:30 for a couple of days in a row. I was just enjoying their glorious soundtrack while most around me were NOT amused and complained that they were too loud to which I replied, that's the cost of freedom.

    The 2-seater CF-188s are from 410 training squadron in Cold Lake, the operational squadrons have the single seaters. The best part of watching the CF-188 startup is when they engage the computer to check the flight controls and everything goes nuts. And because the CF-188s relatively loud, compared to airliners, they pay a $10,000 noise abatement fee per aircraft and that's why they are based in the middle of nowhere, CFB Cold Lake, Alberta and CFB Bagotville, Quebec. That was one of the reasons they retired the CC-137 Boeing 707, it could set off car alarms on takeoff.

And noise from explosive training was one of the reasoins CFB Chilliwack in Vedder Crossing, B.C. closed too.

      ​@@Chuck59ish This is completely false.
      Canadian cities can only issue fines over matters that are provincial constitutional jurisdiction (with extremely limited exceptions), and aviation solidly falls under Canadian Federal jurisdiction via Transport Canada. Transport Canada regulates aircraft noise by administering the Canadian Aviation Regulations, and Section 102 of the CARs expressly excludes CF aircraft.

    I live at the end of the South-facing runways the CF-18’s take off of in Comox. We are very used to the sound, not only of the military machines, but also the commercial planes…everything to small Saabs to WestJet’s big commercial planes as well. But I grew up in the Comox Valley, moving there at age 2, in 1953. As a result we, collectively - including all who live in The Valley - are used to everything from the sound of Lancaster bombers to the latest military and commercial aircraft, as the sounds the planes make is heard ‘round the entire valley as the sound bounces off the local mountains. And every year we watch the Sno-Birds acrobatic ensemble, as well as any number of single aircraft, usually air dominance types, rehearsing their upcoming airshow routines…all taking off in our back yards…probably only 300-400 metres from our home…and liking the fact that we have that access and have that view.
    Can’t wait to hear the new F-35’s, when they’re finally cleared for use…

    Very cool! I noticed the two planes were F-18D's. Is there any word about RCAF possibly procuring Super Hornets? Additionally, do those planes have tail hooks? Not a dumb question as USAF F-15's do.

    • @eyetrapper
      @eyetrapper  2 года назад

      Thanks! These are actually 18B hornets. Unfortunately Canada won't be going with the Supers but are acquiring the F-35. And yes, they have tail hooks on these birds.

    Wait until you get the F-35’s. Louder! I live near Miramar in San Diego. We have the F-18’s and the F-35B and C here. Notably louder, but I don’t mind.

    Boeing uses Lambert field in St. Louis to test fly the new F-15s and FA-18 super hornets. These planes will do a viking departure where the jet takes off, retracts the landing gear, pull back out the stick and go to full military power. The jets go straight up out of sight in about 30 seconds.

      You realize that Military Power is the highest engine power without afterburner, Maximum power is military plus afterburner.

    Great video and yes they are very loud. I almost got a job at Cold Lake years ago and when I was there applying for it I saw and heard them practicing drills overhead. Canada is supposed to buy 88 F 35s and finally we will have some better modern aircraft. Unlike our used and leaky British submarines at least we will have new jets.
    I remember in 1988 when Winnipeg lost the maintenance contract for them to Quebec for political reasons what a fiasco that was. They were new then. How time "flies".LOL.
