At least now I know where our president gets his reading list .

BTW, I saw a couple F-18's yesterday and even got three sonic booms (not from the same planes though). I was on the coast and they are not allowed to go super sonic over land so I am guessing a pilot got a bit enthusiastic and kicked in the burners while still too close to land. Honestly, I didn't know what it was when I heard it as I have never heard one from that distance. A retired navy guy identified it for me....was very cool. Everyone on the boardwalk stopped to look around for the source of the rumble.

Heh heh, modern times eh?
I have a very vivid memory of an airshow in the early 70's, when an English Electric Lightning (AKA Frightening), came down the showline at about 100ft and 600mph, lit full burner, pulled up and went through the barrier vertical.
BOOM!
A moment I'll never forget, and because of Mr Health and Safety/Environmental Concern, will never see again.
Ah me, those were the days...am I getting old?
