It was quick, like one would expect. And also as one would expect by the time I went outside there was nary a sign of any aircraft. I can't understand, from a physics standpoint, why a sonic boom would 'go on forever'.QUOTE]

 

Boom Carpet - the "boom" moves with the aircraft as it maintains supersonic speed and altitude.

I didn't hear anything at all

Im thinking this for an extended period of time. I dont think it was actually a sonic boom, but extremely close to happening.

I was at the Dayton air show 2 years ago and they had an F-18 fly by doing that, said that's right at the point of breaking the sound barrier but the pilot wasn't allowed since there were so many cars in parking lot and generally their not suppose to do that over the U.S. main land over heavy residential areas, but damn that was an awesome sight and very loud

I thought this was pretty cool, it would be beyond neat to watch this happening from inside of the aircraft.

As a former Concorde pilot puts it, "You don't actually hear anything on board. All we see is the pressure wave moving down the aeroplane - it gives an indication on the instruments...
