I did toy with the idea years ago of going to Russia for a go in a MIG29

Know someone who's done it, cost them 3K for the hour and said it was worth every penny.

Of the V bombers I would say a Victor K2 when all revved up and ready to roll. A Phantom with reheat selected and ready to roll will certainly rattle your body and sensors ... more so if you are sat close to it on the threshold. But I suspect many of the Russian military jets might top the league because of the sometimes crude focus on raw power. The Russian TU-95 with its 32 18-foot-long props is certainly known to be noisy for its contra-rotating sets of props ... you can hear it before you can see it apparently.

Certainly a Vulcan on that spiral climb above is awesome, and loud!

I don't own one, I can't afford to. But to the best of my understanding it has 4 main engines. The bulk of the noise I gather comes from its props and not the engines. But I'm a poor little northern boy and I stand to be corrected.

Luckily for me, the same year the Russians had their mishap, 1993, they also brought over a Tu95 Bear. Four engines with contrarotating props, a wonderful sound on a long approach, like a whirring/winding noise, not unlike the Shackleton, as you say those props create that.
