Ah, yes. I remember the “sonic boom” days. Chuck Yeager started a trend.

“Ah, yes. I remember the “sonic boom” days”

True story. Decades ago back in my high school days. School was an older brick building had a boiler for heat and hot water. Early in the morning janitor went to light the boiler and it blew up killing him and of course causing some damage to the building. The very tall smokestack for the boiler was visibly cracked and leaning a little. They called nearby Air Force base and said please no sonic booms today. But we went to school that day despite the damage and danger, THAT would not happen today.
