I grew up in NE cali in the sierra nevada mt's, used to hear sonic booms and have low fly by's all the time. The Herlong army depot just across the valley had the largest open pit ammo demos in the us 10k lbs at a time. Even though it was 30 miles away you could clearly see the fire ball and about 40 sec later the boom shook the windows, this was done 10-15 times a day 5 days a week.

When i was in the navy we were "attacked" several times by 2 F-5's with sensor pods containing the new guidance system for our new asm missiles. They came in at mach 1+ from several directions at 50-100 meters alt.....very very cool

Didnt really think much about it, cause its pretty normal airdefence training for us and antisihip training for the pilots. Later we found out that the planes were not flown by their pilots, but by the pods containing the asm guidance system....glad i didnt know that when they came in

Can a F-15 with external stores and full fuel go Mach 1 at sea level? That's a question, not a comment.

Lol, when i was in the army, 2 trainer Hawk jets flew horizontal 50-100 meters from my coastal observation point at same level (40 meters), felt like crapping my pants as i didnt notice them until the soundwaves catched me. Nice prank, they prolly had some yelling, as the other controllers werent so hot about the incident.
