Wow, it's not legal for them to break the sound barrier. We used to have an air force base near us before it closed & Matogorda Island was a bombing range. We were between the base and the island so we saw lots of jets, and when they first developed super-sonic, we heard lots of booms, but they made it illegal for them to do so.
Not sure how they are getting away with this. The Concords were not allowed to go super-sonic except over the Atlantic Ocean, either. I haven't heard a sonic boom since they made the law.

I hadn't heard one since I was a child or early teen either because I thought they made them illegal. Thanks for verifying that Marilyn, because I wasn't sure. We live about 45 minutes away from Gissom Air Force Base. It was suppose to be closed a year or two ago, but they still run manuevers...at least that's what I think they are doing.
It sure was scary at first...if it had just been the sound it might not have been so bad...I don't remember them being soooo loud before. It literally shook the house....I really thought....something bad was happening for a second.

Thinking back, we had a couple of mysterious booms in our area a couple of years ago. We all expected to see something in the paper about an explosion somewhere, but heard nothing. Maybe we did have a couple of sonic booms but at the time didn't even think that could be what it was. So strange!!

There are no more Concords, are there? I haven't heard a sonic boom in years either.

Concords were retired. I read or heard something recently though that they may bring back commercial super sonic travel. Won't make any difference to any of us. It was too expensive for anyone but the rich and famous anyway.

All I know is....it scared the bejeebies out of us for a second and sure did raise the heartbeat...LOL. Been a very long time since I heard one. Just wish they would give us warning.
