God I miss those sonic booms, it was a regular occurrence in the 60’s and early 70’s in the northern San Fernando Valley, many times lots of windows everywhere shattered.

. . .many times lots of windows everywhere shattered.

Years ago, the Reader's Digest posted a letter that a rancher, who lived near a bombing range, posted to the USAF after an enthusiastic pilot flew too low over his home.

The rancher said he was all set to sue the AF for the window breakage. When he reconsidered what the damage to his home would have been if the plane were a Russian, he backed off, but said he'd appreciate it if the pilot flew a little higher.
