I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

All true, but left out missile system that was next to useless and the frequent fuel priority to land calls.
( Sorry couldn't resist that

Hi tango you can still hear those monstrous lightnings at bruntingthorpe with full afterburner on. Granted they don't fly anymore but i nearly had my ears blown out i was that close too them (no more than 30 ft). It's a sight too behold.

Hmmm, you never know things have been known to fly at Bruntingthorpe that aren't supposed to.

Never. it's not like you can't prove it. The victor is not far behind in terms of noise. At least with the lightning you expect it too be loud but the victor winds up like a normal heavy jet engine aircraft and then blows your ear drums out whrn he floors it!
