Afterburning Harrier? then the 'nosie that will stay with you forever' is the nosie of a catastrophic engine failure.

Or you nosie is getting longer.

There have been more than one incident where the roof of a car that was being buzzed was pretty well caved in.

An F16 pilot told me of a fairly recent one where a pilot was buzzing his buddy, who was driving along a highway in the Sandbox somewhere, and managed to crush the roof. The pilot in question was supposedly the straightest and most by the book fellow in the group and they never thought he would do something quite so crazy. No injuries.

I always remember travelling to ardnurmurchan point in the highlands, where the raf used to teach tornado recruits how to fly low level. Anyhoo, there we were enjoying a pleasant drive, when there is the most godawfull noise, cue OH saying

' Oh great! Now the cars fubar'

Cue 2 marinefleiger tornado's ripping past, about 25 feet up or so, then banking hard and sodding off to the irish sea! I sat there goggling, our lass was like, do they have to do that? Yes they do
