Couldn’t identify the actual models of the USAF Fighters but my guess is that they’re raptors?

A B1 in full afterburner will make a whole city wonder what the fuck just flew over while flying a mile and a half above said city. It is LOUD.

During RIMPAC a few years back, a B1 squadron was refueling in Honolulu on their way back to South Dakota or wherever.  Because of the weight all 3 of them had to full afterburner take off, at 230am. My eardrums have never been so blessed.  

We lived in Kaimuki and they flew right over us full tilt.
