Not sure I'd like that much noise. We get fast jets through here close
enough to see the pilots at times. They are loud but up, past and gone
in less than a minuet. Chinooks just make the windows rattle, Black
Hawks nervous, having no real requirement to be streamlined, they just
look like the killing machines they are.

I was in a friends back garden a couple of years back and a pair of
Apache gunships flew over...

I really would not want to be anywhere near those when they are doing
what they are designed for. Not only do they look evil, they well and
truly sound it as well! I can quite understand why your average Afghani
insurgent would loathe them so much.

Much like the copper chopper here then. They frequently buzz around here
at all hours with some sort of floodlight on. It's quite intimidating,
and enough to make small children woken up by them cry.

Your average cop chopper sounds nothing like an Apache though!
