If you were with Nolan Ryan on a plane going 670 mph and Nolan went to the back of the plane and fired off a 97mph fastball towards the cockpit, would the ball then be traveling at the speed of sound?

Nolan Ryan always flies First Class.

He’s in the front of the boat.

Sure, it would be equivalent to the SOS over the ground. But no sonic boom in the cockpit, just a sub-sonic bang against the cockpit door.
