Fake news!
cocoteddylee@reddit
Isn’t this like some descendent of Ross Perot
cocoteddylee@reddit
Ross Perot Jr has a T38 jet. Why are you all downvoting me
bugattibrito@reddit
Lmfaoo idk why this is so funny to me, people on reddit are such assholes sometimes.
Lucky7366@reddit
Upvote! LMAO!

No, it's a former Pakistani ISI military officer that was a friend of former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. I heard the guy was one of the doctors Musharraf visited here in the 2000's for medical treatment.
TickTockM@reddit
How can be afford it? What does he do
calmrain@reddit
As a Pakistani-American (born and raised here), I totally agree. Pakistan’s government is also pretty corrupt (like one step down from a literal military dictatorship). I had no idea this dude lived here — wtf lol. How did you know about that/this (curious for my own sake).
txt214@reddit
Yep, it’s a Northrop F –5b freedom fighter built from the 1960s to the 1980s. It’s a training jet.
right164@reddit
Why can’t he be fined/reported?

DaSilence@reddit
What would he be fined for?
Having an awesome jet?
randombookman@reddit
Noise.
iceterminal@reddit
T-38 is the trainer version of the F-5.
txt214@reddit
Yup :) ... grew up with those buzzing around during football and soccer games in south Texas
zughzz@reddit
With the amount of people its affecting constantly they need to get this dude to stop. Imagine annoying hundreds of people regularly & not giving af
itsjustmehere1111@reddit
It’s a weekly occurrence over here.
Apprehensive-Taco406@reddit
The pilot also flies low over his house, probably near you. That's why he after burns in a certain neighborhood to rattle his own house. Guy is former Pakistani Air Force if I recall. It annoys a lot of people because he always does this early in the mornings. Would be better for everyone if he flew out of Grayson County where there are less residential areas.

Yes, I’m a mile north of Addison Airport and have looked him up. I’m used to it now but the first time I heard it I wasn’t sure what I was hearing.
richbrownkid@reddit
Who is he?
Phynub@reddit
fucking Raj Narayanan at it again.

Just submitted mine, thank you!
SomeAdhesiveness7025@reddit
ngl that noise is hella annoying fr, hope they do somethin about it soon
DFWRailVideos@reddit
This is cool as shit. Maybe don't do it right in the morning, but I'd love to talk to the guy that owns that F-5B. Crazy rare aircraft and even cooler to know someone owns and flies one here in Dallas!
Borderpotroll@reddit
A plane flies over at 7:50am and you’re… upset about it? Get a life. It’s a fucking plane. They fly. They make noise. Boo hoo.
MaverickTTT@reddit
It’s the type of plane that matters here. Those things are loud as hell.
BRob504@reddit
They really aren’t for what they are. The engines are not that big.
MaverickTTT@reddit
And? They're not going to be as loud as a larger, more modern fighter jet...but, an F-5 at takeoff power is still loud as fuck...about 20-40 dB louder than a 737 at takeoff.
It's also not the first time someone has posted about this particular aircraft blasting off out of ADS before 8am on a weekend morning. If the dude keeps at it, he's going to end up making the 2200-0600 voluntary curfew at ADS one that's later and mandatory.
BRob504@reddit
Again, different strokes for different folks. I spent a ton of my life around the T-38, AT-38, and F-5 platform and it is just not a big deal to me. They are nothing like a 3rd, 4th, or 5th gen actual fighter or attack platform with an afterburning powerplant. They are really not much louder than an A-4.
I guess everyone has their own things that bother them.
MrTacocaT12345@reddit (OP)
Not upset at all....just wanted to know if anyone else had the opportunity to see or hear this plane flying overhead. It was a Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter jet plane per flightradar24. The owner has been known to fly this plane around North Texas from time to time. I ran outside to get eyes on it but, it had already looped back to Addison airport where it just landed. At least for me, it is exciting to see this type of aircraft in the air, which is not very often in Dallas.
Borderpotroll@reddit
It is exciting. Most of the time when people get on here about this plane, it’s to bitch about how these jets shouldn’t be privately owned and to complain about the noise early in the morning. I figured that’s what you were doing as well. Many people on here have made it very clear they are absolutely against it.
SYNtechp90@reddit
Everything with a grain of salt man.
Adventurous_Buy_9971@reddit
I’m glad you know what it is. I thought it was the military doing a fly over when I heard it. I’m just north of Addison airport.
Onuus@reddit
Man that’s sick I wish I could’ve seen it
Normal_Geologist_254@reddit
You’re weird lmao.

Is that you Ross Perot Jr?

Wow. I guess different strokes for different folks. Jet noise is the best noise.
But, maybe its just my background and my life that gives me a different perspective.
HJTX62@reddit
I saw it in Carrollton. very cool
Keep_Plano_Corporate@reddit
Jade helm?
WinStark@reddit
Did he fly over NRH? Some loud engine woke me up about that time, but it wasn't a car.
jdboone42@reddit
Up here in The Colony, saw it fly over and thought wtf is this all about? Now I’m wondering how much it costs to fill that thing up and joyride around town
thegx7@reddit
$5k USD / hr
FlyNSubaruWRX@reddit
That’s operating cost, they asked how much to fill it up
texastek75@reddit
Approximately 600 gals.
FlyNSubaruWRX@reddit
Jet A is about 7 bucks right now where I live so roughly around 4500 bucks to fill up
libbysname@reddit
Yes, I heard him!
Madoodam@reddit
He’s rich and thinks it is his right to inconvenience people in pursuit of his pleasure. Unethical hedonism that worsens our world. That is what the oligarchy is. Put sugar in his jet fuel…
drewforty@reddit
It’s been posted about before. Dude has a few cool planes and takes them to air shows. I think his fond use of afterburners on low angle takeoffs from Addison is probably the crux of the issue people have, if they have one.
Fun fact he’s also the one with the Beachcraft Starship that operates out of Addison. Like 1 of 4 in the world left.
Bubbapughe@reddit
I did hear it. It did not sound like most of the planes. I hear around here Rosemeade 190.
TXWayne@reddit
How do you know it’s a guy?
Thesinistral@reddit
Same guy. It’s the airplane equivalent of bobcat/coyote sightings on Nextdoor. ha
IAmSoUncomfortable@reddit
It is
canon_man@reddit
That’s awesome, it would be so cool to take it out for a flight!
Adventurous_Buy_9971@reddit
Annoying. Woke me up at 7:19am in North Dallas
kakacon@reddit
that’s soooo cool, wish i had my own jet!
IAmSoUncomfortable@reddit
Have you not heard this guy before? It’s so annoying.
