“”It’s supposed to be sonic boom from RAF planes according to Sky News””

I grew up just outside of Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring TX. This was a training base then and it was common to hear sonic booms. It just dawned on me that we have people now who’ve never heard a sonic boom.

"...that doesn’t strike anyone as a tad strange?"

Hey, these are the same people who bought the "spark in the fuel tank" of Flight 800 story.

“And that doesn’t strike anyone as a tad strange?”

Yes. Maybe they were chasing Fast Movers.

The Hawker Typhoon, a ground-attack plane from late in the war. Think of it as their version of the P-47 “Jug”.

Look at some Melania pics before you go to sleep.

It would be hard to sleep after that.

We only had evaporate coolers then so you had to sleep with a window open to keep the air flowing. On the west end of the runway they worked on the engines and you could hear them firing up at night. People come visit and complain of the noise, I slept like a baby. There was always a couple of planes up in the air flying the pattern. You could tell how the class was advancing by the planes in the air. They started them on T-37’s and finished them on T-38’s. We just went about our business like they wasn’t even there. About once or twice a month they’s open the hanger on the nth west side and bring out the F-104’s. Those jet’s would make you look up. loved watching them. When I got to Vietnam I got to witness first hand what the 104’s and 105’s were really built for. First time I heard a gattling gun (20mm Vulcan) fire off was in the A Shau, when 4 F-104’s lit up a hillside we were thumping with our 155’s. The sound was incredible even from miles away.

During the Cold War, locals would call Beaufort MCAS to complain about the jet noise.

The response often as not was “Are you sure they’re ours?”

Hmmm, I noted a T-38 flying by here (Reno) a few days ago.

It was headed towards Stead, so I assumed that was it. Wiki says no T-38s are stationed in Nevada. Maybe it escaped Area 51?

China Lake isn’t all that far from Vegas. Nellis is right there of course. Wouldn’t surprise me if one or two didn’t operate from either place from time to time as aggressors or test beds.

China Lake is shut down due to earthquake damage. At least that’s what they’ve said...
