Not posting to prove or disprove anything, just fun to watch and listen to the multiple sonic booms.

Of course not.

But that particular video is of an F18 flying faster than the speed of sound way out in the ocean somewhere. Here is one of an F14 probably shot on a tiger cruise.

Just more engine noise.

It was Friday during their practice runs..   

Was in town finishing up a week long mission trip with youth from our church, so we got a 'bonus' when we visited the beach that day..

I've never seen engine noise blow in a window before. Strange that the USN didn't tell the Mythbusters they weren't flying supersonic when that's what they asked for.
