whisleing sound

[frog_flyer]

A couple of weeks ago I was in PHX and went to Luke A.F.B. and watched the f-16 do there thing and noticed as the went by with gear down and speed breaks out we could here a whistling.What might be causing this?

Thanks Ron

Best of luck on your GED.

Scrap... calm down!!! You're obviously not up to speed on the Chemtrail Conspiracy which has become a running joke on FI. Read up for some good entertainment... I'd love to find where one of these nuts lives and do circles over their house with the dumps on at around say 6000'?

Its the actuator that opens the nozzle.

The flux capacitor in the T-6 has been known to whistle...I can't speak for the viper though

No, I think that's the prop brother. Now the Tweet - that's the man's jet, that puppy will whistle loud enough to put out your hearing within minutes. Remember the ear protectors we had to wear on top of our earplugs during our walkarounds? Now that is a impressive picture! :laugh:

Must be an academy grad.....couldn't spot the humor for the trees

I was trying to add a little humor myself. Where are those trees by the way?

Ron, it's one of them new fangled directed energy weapons. Now, I could get in a lot of trouble for revealing to you how to counter such a weapon, but I am genuinely concerned for you well being...

The next time you hear it, run (don't walk) to the nearest port-a-john, get inside, rock it back and forth until the sumbitch tips over on its door, and then coat yourself from head to toe in the blue chemical. It's the only way to defeat the sound waves emitting from that F-16 overhead.

I took the following from the Chemtrails Data Page that CA1900 provided a link to. It's pretty amusing stuff. The idiot who wrote this has been "observing chemtrails for seven years, maybe more."

[SIZE=+1]I ask anyone that I can to just ask themselves this question: Suppose you are in the plane overhead and you are traveling along and the pilot comes on and tells everyone that for the sake of fuel conservation he is going to switch off the engines for a short period of time to conserve fuel. To someone on the ground observing the trail, it is regularly noticed that the trails are often broken... that is, they are 'on' for a few minuets then off again...and then on again. One on the ground must only conclude that the aircraft has had to shut down the engines for this to occur. There is no other explanation to this, unless the plane is emitting something other than jet exhaust.[/SIZE]

Alright, 'fess up. Who among us has "switched off the engines" to conserve fuel??

I'd be worried about the JFS restarting!

Seriously...

EECs/DEECS. The nozzle cycling makes a whine. It sounds pretty particular until you get used to it. You'll hear the same sound at any fighter base as the jets pull throttles way back.

Chem goo...on the other hand...can't tell you about that....
