Too bad we have that silly rule about not breaking sound barriers in
populated areas here in the states. I'd love to witness that some day.
I ain't going to Afghanistan to see it, though.
Well, they didn't go supersonic, but at an airshow here at NAS Norfolk, a B-1
did a demo that included a slow flight pass, dirty, ending by sucking up the
gear and throwing in the burners in that nose high attitude. The resulting
BOOM! set off every car alarm on the base.
I was impressed.
