Luke AFB Jets
« on: July 13, 2013, 02:02:38 PM »
Are now breaking the speed of sound over residential areas.

A customer just came in to the Motorcycle store and angrily informed me of this.  He WILL be making some phone calls to the base commander and a formal complaint will be lodged.

He knows this for a fact because as the plane flys over his house  :airplane: he looks up and can see it, but the sound of the engine is behind it.  :confused:

I sure would like to hear that phone call to the base commander  :devil

I watched F-18's fly over my hotel going to/from NAS Oceana all last week.  I too was a victim of the plane flying faster than its sound!   :old:

     I gotta side with Dragon here, except maybe ignorant would be more accurate than stupid.

I wonder when you start noticing sound delay? under 100 yards? The sound is just taking a while to reach your customer's ears because of the distance between him and the aircraft. If they broke the sound barrier he would know it (really know it).

This is correct. If they actually broke the sound barrier everyone for blocks would know it. There would be borken windows and other glass goods. The sound gets to him after the jet goes by because of the distance from him to the jet.   :lol

Wrong, and ignorant of reality.   IF, that were the case, you would most likely have cuts and abrasions from the broken glass and other debris damage caused by the shockwave of the sonic boom.  Oh, you didn't mention the sonic boom.  How many of them did you hear?   Additionally, we would all be hearing about it on the local and national news, similar to when one of the USAF Thunderbirds went supersonic over Tucson recently during an air show practice.

Whoa Puma.  Maybe I didn't do a very good job of tipping it off, but I was joking.  I experienced a bit of what the OP was referring to answering questions from my aviation interest challenged wife and 5 year old son while on vacation last week.   :)   

Sorry for the confusion.

Not only do I joke, but I joke poorly!   :old:

A man goes into a bar and says, "Give me a drink before the trouble starts." And the bartender gives him one. He drinks it, and says, "Give me another drink before the trouble starts." He downs that one, and says, "Give me another drink before the trouble starts." He drinks that, and says, "Give me another drink before the trouble starts." And the bartender says, "When's this trouble going to start?" The man says, "The trouble starts as soon as you realize that I don't have any money."
