Ken Block's RS200. Apparently this thing scares the devil out of him even.

No, this thread needs more Avanti .

 

I work about 2 miles from the touchdown point of ILG 19, just off the runway axis.  One of those comes in and out of the airport a few times a month. Dear Bob, that thing is loud.  Imagine a leaf blower the size of a C-130.  Which, incidentally, are also stationed at the ANG wing that shares the airport.

I don't have a tail shot, but I have this.  These folks are also local, but not as close as the C-130 wing:

Not even a little bit.  We added the C-17 Globmaster to the base (I actually did design work on the building that houses the C-17 flight simulator... a cool rig if ever there was one).  But the C-5s are still alive and well and looming over Dover on a daily basis.

DAFB is the major logistical point between the East Coast and Rammstein.
