Well, I can attest to how disconcerting is a tree top sonic boom directly overhead can be. Then to add insult all the snow in the pine trees came down at once. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see anything except white.

I knew what it was, because I was a jet plane geek so recognized the delta shape for the millisecond before my world shook.

Seems to me poor planning to do a simulated run over a National Forest during deer hunting season. I assume mine was from Grissom AFB in Indiana, as they were only a few hundred miles south.

Sounds like you had a simulated nuclear attack followed by a simulated nuclear winter. The pilot was probably from New York city. What do those city boys know about deer hunting anyway.

The hustler was not designed for low level ops which is what shortened it's service life. An awesome jet, I think a record or two that it set are still standing.
