The loudest plane ever at OSH? This one is a no-brainer. It’s the BAE Harrier jump jet, a fighter jet that could take off and land vertically while also speeding along at a supersonic clip. It’s fair (though perhaps not nice) to say that the Harrier got more attention from more showgoers for a longer period of time than any other plane, but that’s only because when it does its V-TOL thing, it’s too loud to talk to anyone else. The Harrier also represents EAA’s ongoing commitment to bringing the best available military hardware to the show, no matter the obstacles.
