The modern hush house is so effective you don’t really notice it in the surrounding areas. When I was a kid the thing was basically open air with a tube pointing up. We could hear them testing 106’s, and F-4’s all the way down past the fairgrounds miles away.

The ones the Japanese have are feats of engineering, it's basically double suppressed and can being running an engine at max power and not hear it much more than a 1/4 mile away.

I worked on A/B models at Langley AFB 76-80. We went out to Nellis AFB, Nevada for the Red Flag exercise. We took one down to the trim pad one night to run it up to full afterburner and I can tell that it is way past loud. The shock waves kind of beat on you when you’re standing aft a little watching the burner. I remember having to breathe a little harder to get air. The crew chief was taking quart cans of engine oil and partially opening them and throwing them into the full afterburner exhaust and they would make a big fire ball. Cars were stopping on the road outside the end of runway to watch. I was about 20 years old then, now I’m 68. I loved the Air Force.

As an Aircraft Maintenance Officer at Eglin in 1979 - 1981 we did a lot of engine runs. What I noticed about this one is the engine bay panels were all buttoned up and the absence of a trim box. Generally, for diagnostic runs the engine undergoing maintenance would be connected to a trim box by some pretty long cables so the engine techs could read specific data and make adjustments. Also noticed the restriction of one engine in burner with the other engine at idle (or at best 80%). My recollection is the crew chief was allowed to do engine runs up to that limit. Going beyond (both at 100% rpm or both in burner) required a rated (maybe FCF but not sure) pilot. Also this is the first time I noticed the nozzle actuators making that distinctive noise ... likely was drowned out by the engine noise in my case. Fun video .. takes me back to my 2Lt. days ...

If this jet was ever at Kadena (there from 87/92), I crewed on it. Hush house at Kadena a little different when I was there, but I did burner runs in this type. The old one at Kadena had water suppression to keep noise to a minimal when having to do night maintenance, huge plume of water shooting out the stacks pretty interesting to watch. This looks more like engine shops hush house because they have the booth to the side you can barely see. Typically, there would be a bunch of cables connected underneath to monitor and adjust parameters of all types while the jet is run through its throttle settings (one being mil). Have to do these types of runs for a multitude of reasons. This is a dangerous process always; you can be sure these guys are trained at nauseum to make sure you know all procedures for emergency and otherwise. (My first assigned F15 was a 78 model 0563) These aircraft been in service for a minute 😮‍💨

It’s crazy how loud these are when they’re 1000 ft above you. I can’t even fathom how loud they are standing right next to one in full afterburner.

I’m an USAF veteran and I got to watch these take off at night up close. They take off with afterburners on. The sound would make the ground vibrate underneath your feet.

I was at Holloman right after they got rid of the F-4's and transitioned to the 15. The JFS on start up is a unique sound and we ran them up at night on the trim pad with the tailhook and we had a super-sucker. Helped in both areas with running the engines. Most memorable was when we ran up one of ours around midnight and the tail was pointed directly at the Base Commander's quarters, and we or anyone else,didn't realize how it would almost blow their windows out. The commander's wife was pissed and we couldn't run the engines up that much anymore, not until they left anyway Lol 😂

No wheel chocks or straps holding it down unless the tail hook is hooked on something amazing how it doesn’t slide forward on the tires that would be a cool hanger to be in and listen too
@SukhoiWolf
@SukhoiWolf Ай бұрын
Chocks wouldn't hold this from going forward. There are chocks in the rear to prevent slack in the tailhook/holdback.

During my hush house runs (on F-16s), the ground man and fire guard had to go inside the control room after start up. No one was allowed in the bay during burner. I’m actually surprised that they risked having their cellphones suck out of their hands (I served before cellphones was a thing).

People are only allowed in the bay as long as they are inside the un-installed engine test bed. Losing a phone is just a risk you have to be willing to take haha.
