Are these the same folks that caused the persistent NOTAMS of MDA changes due to trees?

I love how the "tree expert" decides to offer some additional expertise on wingtip vortices and the aerodynamic properties of jet blast. Stay in your lane, hippy.

Lee Mitchell....thinks I'm a jackass. That's cute.

 

[Harrier Dude]

When was their house built? When was NAS Whidbey Island established?

One of those two entities should go fuck themselves.

I know who my money is on.

I love how in all these stories, they like to stress their connection to the military. It's the same argument as "I'm not a racist, I have tons of black friends who love me."

GFY.

"The trees are Anabelle's inheritance.."

I wonder what Anton Chigurh would have to say to Mr. Mitchell... (2:06-2:40)

Good stuff here:

"I don't like the full-bore flyovers. Some of those Navy kids want to be in the Blue Angels. They don't make the sound of freedom, it's the sound of jackasses."

Come on Brett, when are you going to stop being a jackass and confess your life long dream of being part of the Blue Angels

They don't make the sound of freedom, it's the sound of jackasses.

So the years of flying A-6 Intruders and EA-6B Prowlers have had nothing to do with the trees? Looks like the Dutch Mafia needs a new flag.

Yeah, ya know what they say..."wind damage is wind damage". What a bunch of A$$holes.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

you know what also damages trees, wind storms, snow storms, ice storms, now luckily the NW doesn't get anything like that!

 

[kmac]

Now I'm actually curious as to how much wind can possibly be produced by an aircraft. I'm referring only to the displacement of air by the aircraft's mass and not from the jet exhaust (or prop wash). Can this be close in comparison to nearby trees and an 18-wheeler on a highway? Or are the Growlers doing some serious low levels? <- tongue in cheek.

This is another example of the senior citizen auditory paradox, usually expressed as, "What? I can't hear you, sonny, but turn that music down, it's too loud!"

I wonder how many kids today have even heard of Huey Lewis, never mind how many would recognize him if he was right in front of them and talking into a bullhorn?

Oh come on, you guys- the heart of rock n roll is still beating!
