They are LOUD. I believe the ordinance hits supersonic pretty much at the launchpad. The sonic boom knocked me on my ass.

WOW!!

I just looked around on the web; public info says they hit Mach 2.2 in a couple of seconds of launch.

Not what I was expecting to a trip to a friend’s winery, but it was cool to see/hear. (This was January.)

Part of me wishes I had stayed outside and watched the fireworks, but training and experience had me running for a hole in the ground.
