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
 
Uh, the wind maybe?

Simply explained, it is the device that makes the chem trails and the pilot must have forgotten to turn the master switch off.

I would keep questions like these to yourself so that the you don't have any visitors knocking on your door.....

I hope you're kidding because I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and I fly the thing. And I can garuntee you nothing top secret is going on at Luke except some nervous lieutenants trying not to pork away their SFO's and graduate from the B course in one piece.
 
Probably just all the crap hanging off the wings...combined with the throttle being pulled back for landing.

Ron...you got me way beat with your lurking skills. Only 2 posts in like 5+ years...awesome!

How about the crooked a$$ airframes all bent to he!! just trying to find the ground, or probably the beer can they patched the turkey feathers with.

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

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:

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??
 
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....

For max range on a clean A-37, we'd climb to 25000 ft. (it was unpressurized), and shut down one engine. There was even a checklist page for it. With both engines it would go much higher---for one A-10 photo chase mission, the pilots prebreathed oxygen and went up to 35000 ft. The purpose was to see if an experimental Warthog Windshield Washer (for removing gun gas residue), would operate up there.

Didn't the awesome ground instructors tell you?

Even the Boeing's have chemtrail generators....that's actually what the Flaps UP and lights at 18K are for (2 conditions must be met).

That wasn't on the systems val. ;)

You sure it was whistling noise and not a whining noise? It was a Viper after all...;)










Disclaimer for ScrapDog...this was a joke.
 
[SIZE=+1]What's in the chemtrails, and why are they spraying us? We wish we knew. There are only a few planes in the world that have the equipment to analyze the spray mix and can get to the CT altitudes, clearance must be obtained to fly into the trails and money must be raised for the $22,000 per day plane rental fee.[/SIZE]
Plane rental $22,000 per day...
The look on the controller's face when you ask for clearance to fly into chemtrails...priceless

Ground instructors aren't too bad - I've quickly learned not to ask them anything remotely concerned with actual flying though. The 737 has flaps? Sh!t, no wonder why I kept going so fast on final! I was trying to make it look like the same speeds as the F-16.

Take care brother, we'll have to catch a beer together again! :)

Thought about it in a MC-130 during OEF. The helos were running late and fuel was going to be tight for us. We were up around FL 230 at max endurance and thought about shutting down one engine to save fuel. Our 3-eng service ceiling however was around 180 at the time, so the extra fuel flow on the three running engines to maintain 18,000 balanced out the fuel flow on all four at 230, so we left it running. I've heard that P-3's sometime shut down one or even two engines to save fuel over the water. As for the chem stuff we drop out the back, well, if I tell you I'd have to kill you.

To further hijack the thread, I can't tell you how many idiots we've had email us or corner us at airshows to tell us that when we're flying a hurricane we should drop a nuke in the eye. One of our A/Cs, after having his name in the paper got a long, rambling, incoherent letter to that effect from someone who is now in confinement for a long, long time.
