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.

We're about 10 miles (as the crow flies) from Houston Intercontinental Airport, and live with constant airplane traffic noise. The g-kids sit out back and watch the planes. When one comes directly over, we shout out, "Don't flush!". I haven't heard a boom in awhile, but some planes are definitely louder than others, depending on the weather and such.
My parents' property, which is now part mine, in Louisiana, borders with the Army base, Fort Polk. I grew up listening to bombs and blasts when they were on training missions and believe me, it seemed constant as it was during Viet Nam and everybody knew when they got stationed at Fort Polk, their next stop was Viet Nam. Night training was scary!

That would have been scary Sandy. I don't think I would like to live that close to all that.
