Seven-year-old Shelby Forse liked the jets,
but she put her hands over her ears as they screeched overhead at 700
mph.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Tell me when the BA flew over an airshow at 700 MPH.

Granted the majority of the show has to be done at lower speeds, but I don't
know if they *never* get close to that speed... I remember as a kid watching
the Thunderbirds every summer at Langley AFB, and one of the features of
their show was the "everybody has their attention on the four aircraft to
their front, and along comes the solo from behind the crowd screaming
overhead like the hammers-from-hell at *very* high speed" bit. Wouldn't be
surprised if the solo was not doing every bit of M0.9 (plus) during that
event.
