The best airplane ever built to me.
I caught her as she was on final to BFI. I hope the folks in the Aerostar got some good air-to-air...

Did someone take a video of the takeoff?
I'm sure they did, it'll surface sooner or later.
and I bet the those P&W's were magnificent...sans Stage III kits.
Short of the Blue Angels in full afterburner, I think the loudest departure I ever heard from BFI was an old Learjet 24 freighter...
A B-1B at BFI, my hearing hasn't been the same since.
I've been around a lot of jets from airliners to fighters, but that was without a doubt THE loudest airplane I've ever heard.

Forgot the B-1... Many years back when they still had the Paine Field Rotary Club Air Show, I stupidly stood around without hearing protection at the edge of the tarmac while a Lancer warmed up a few hundred ft away. I was almost directly in front of it, and the scream of the engines even at idle was incredible. I ended up putting an F-16, also idling and only about 50 ft away, between the B-1 and me - it got a lot quieter...
I know I sacrificed a fair bit of upper range hearing that day.
