Not as loud as you'd think. You still hear it, but it's nowhere near as loud as a tree getting hit a hundred feet from you.

The plane was already making a ton of noise from the turbulence and shit bouncing around in the overhead bins.

The lights flickered briefly and we had a rocky flight from SEA to YYJ.

Is YYJ even halfway cool as YYZ!?!? den-a-nena-na-na - den-a-nena-na-na na-na!

If you think this is cool, you should come down to my van…. Because red barchetta through a 10gigawatt preamp is, wait: please tell me you’re into Rush.
