Seeker Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeah, Rosie seems like she might not be the best person to report this story. F-18s don't have thrust reversers and even if they did the correct term for the sound thrust reversers make is "howl" not "screech". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
