<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1751561, member: 12789&quot;]Hard on the hearing though, US Navy personnel have reported that they could hear it long before they saw them coming.&nbsp; The TU-142 naval variant used to buzz aircraft carriers - and now do again.&nbsp; Many of the personnel with the VVS have lost significant hearing because of serving on these very noisy aircraft.&nbsp; They are an amazing bird, there was an airliner variant also the TU-114 that occasionally flew into NYC in the 1960s.&nbsp; Before the B-747 the TU-114 was the largest and fastest production airliner anywhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
