1st...have you ever lived near or in an air force base...i was born and raised on an air force base for the first 10 years of my life and moved off base, but still close by until now...i know what the fuck im hearing...its called a sonic boom...so i guess our base is breaking the laws...hmmm...:roll:you will NEVER hear a sonic boom close to an air force base. it's highly illegal and against the rules to do that anywhere near civilization. it can break glass and cause major disturbances.

you make it sound like 760+ mph is a hard number to achieve. also you realize that most of the time when a plane breaks the sound barrier it is above 40,000 ft. where the speed of sound is closer to 660 mph. At that altitude youre still going to hear a sonic boom, but it is not going to be like KAAABOOOOM!!! your windows are broken. Now, if you 760 miles per hour at sea level, yeah, thats gonna break some windows.
you can be in the air force all you want, but unless you really know how sonic booms work, dont tell me that I or someone else havent heard them. I used to live at Wright Patterson and i heard that shit all the time (10+ years ago).
With the way the military has been working lately, i would agree that it is quite possible to hear a sonic boom. i hear stuff that strangely resembles what i remember hearing in my childhood, but i really doubt thats what it was.
Anyway its kind of a moot point.
Maybe Airjockie is in the neighborhood with that White Z.
clayton, we need you to settle this debate. these guys are saying they are always hearing a sonic boom in their neighborhoods near air bases. i don't think they are. we need another vote. mine comes from my experience as an f-16 avionics guy, but then again, they say that isn't enough to be credible.nope...it's still all apart....
they can't...
Sonic booms have been restricted unless needed for a wartime emergancy in the continental US airspace. only area's able to be used are bombing ranges and over the ocean at least 10-20 miles offshore. there should be a law you can google up to verify this.
or f117s...whatever. my dad was an sp, so i didnt get any inside dirt on what was going on. oh well i was still there for the first civillian showing of the f117 (my mom and dad were organizers for air shows). That plane gave/gives me goose bumps.
