Can’t remember the last time I heard a sonic boom. Used to hear them all the time growing up. I thought they were cool, but our dog didn’t like them very much.
I remember them, too, in upstate NY. Things were different post WW II and in the Cold War. Didn’t they essentially get outlawed?
Well the last time you went shooting or cracked a whip
Could someone please explain how aerodynamic shape can change a sonic boom to a less loud thud?
The last time I heard one was the day some nitwit (who hadn’t read the NOTAR that former President Odouchbag was in Seattle) blundered into the no-fly zone. They scrambled 2 F-15’s from Portland and they went supersonic to get their assets up here.
The boom shook the house and made the big front picture window vibrate wildly.
