"JDupre5762" I have read that a Canadian pilot used to open airshows by doing just that in the days before sonic booms were outlawed in most areas. I witnessed an F86 braking the sound barrier as a young fellow at an airshow in Regina Saskatchewan in the 1950's. Test pilot, Jan Zurakowski is given credit for breaking the sound barrier in a prototype CF100 in 1951 or 1952. Quite an accomplishment in a straight winged aircraft of this type. The Mk-5 Clunk could not do this as wing tip extensions were added to improve operational ceiling extending the life of the CF100 for a few more years. Jan retired after the stupid cancellation of the CF105 Avro Arrow project. Ed
