    Fly past

    What the frack!


    There has just been a fly past my flat by some fast jets.


    Didn't know there was anything going on today.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          I was at Oulton Park the other week for the Touring Cars ( I think)

          and a Euro Fighter came and put on a bit of a display.

          Firkin Awesome!!

          One question for the board though if a plane goes through the sound barrier and then decelerates to just under it and goes through it again do you get another sonic boom?

            No mate, you only get one of those a fortnight. There's a bloke with a clipboard counting 'em.

                  What I do know that if you go through it twice you still get the jolt as the sound wave catches you up when decelerating. I couldn't hear the boom as I was inside the cockpit in the back seat.

                    wiki indicates that although if you stand in one place you hear a boom as the plane flies past this boom is actually continous and so it happens whenever a plane is going above MAC 1 (not just when it goes through MAC 1).


                    Which would indicate it would create a boom each time it goes above MAC 1
