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. At an Airshow at NAS Fallon back in the '90s I experienced this "up close and personal". I was standing by the taxiway when an F-18 made a low level, high speed pass down the runway. He accidentally busted mach 1 just as he passed the grandstand. The double crack of the boom was like getting slapped with a giant invisible hand. It took a few minutes to get my hearing back too. The FAA observer at the show happened to be standing right next to me. He was not happy. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
