In my short 4 year Air Force career, the loudest plane I heard was a B-1 taking off. I surely don't miss the high pitch whine of the F-16s sitting on the tarmac, my ears are still ringing.

The most awesome site I saw was a C-5 landing in a 30 mph crosswind & watching the landing gear turn to compensate for the plane coming in cockeyed. I once got caught off guard behind one while it was making a turn taxiing, I had to drop to all fours & got totally sand blasted. I was lucky I didn't go tumbling across the MAC ramp like a weed.
