@@adelmomew yeah I know many people are tripping out especially those who know a sonic boom. Well atleast what we thought was a sonic boom, must be new technology/modifications on f16s

Yep I was there and that bad boy gave us a great show. Boom! As for the none believers they should watch the other videos. I particularly like one with the interviewer in the B25.
@Porsche992_1 If you've ever been extremely close to a passing fighter with burners lit (as I have), you'll experience a blast created by the jet. The reference was of the young lady in the B-25 delivering an ad on camera whose hair was hit by the shockwave of the F-16. Many have said the plane was subsonic, but there was clearly a shockwave and not just a blast of air.
Usually between mach .95-1 the air brake can cause a sonic boom, the whole aircraft itself wasnt supersonic, just the waves forming over the air brakes, as the air there is being compressed just enough to overlap sound waves and create a boom. More than likely what happened here
I’ve seen tons of videos on this F-16 breaking the sound barrier and they are all very positive and the crowds seemed stoked!! I’ve searched local media looking for nearby home owners complaining of damage, but nothing so far.
That was the first sonic boom I experiences at close range and the shock wave wasn't that bad at all. It really has to do with the size of AC and the aerodynamics. I think the broken window blasts are not common and could be more Hollywood than reality.
it wasnt super sonic, and this video proves it. 18 seconds in, start from there, you can HEAR THE JET before he passes. if he was Super Sonic, you would not hear him prior
@@WarbirdVideos sonic booms are sonic booms period. aircraft design by default has minimal to do with it unless specific elements are in play ( Sonic Spike for instance to actively reduce the sonic compression happening ) this wasnt Hollywood: th-cam.com/video/43Kl7c2yU3g/w-d-xo.html Was a Mach 1.05 Pass, and resulted in hundreds of medical calls for ruptured ear drums and a $250,000 Repair bill to replace all that glass. That F-16 was NOT super sonic and as i just commented, hundreds of military pilots in many forums are saying that with confidence.
This was a nice satisfying crack but as others have said, the plane was not supersonic - you hear it before it passes you. I grew up at China Lake (the Navy R&D/test base in the Mojave Desert and home of the VX-9 Vampires who were also at Airventure) and if he had been truly in the mach speeds, "wasn't that bad at all" would not be part of the description. One guy did a low pass over the base when I was in 6th grade and it took out at least 28 windows (that plus a light fixture were how many the janitor had counted by the time he got to our room) as well as some shelves at the commissary. It probably ded a bunch of other damage as well.
Ok, this could be a boom but it is not allowed at air show accept at one at Edward AFB, California. Even then they break 20,000+ feet. What could have happened is that he went over Mach 0.97 then deployed speed brakes and made a mini sonic boom.
I'd say the Air Force should quietly promote the guy! If I'm not mistaken, admission for kids was free this year--so there were bound to be a lot of them there. So to see and hear an aircraft go supersonic up close and personal may well drive up recruitment...much the way that Top Gun did so for the Navy, back in the 80s. Good job Major. Nice "oops" there, IMHO. Too bad it wasn't on Saturday.
I was sitting probably 10 feet from you when this happened😂. I have the sonic boom on film also and this was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and recorded.
What we heard was NOT a sonic boom. Sort of. Instead, what it actually was, was a "mini" sonic boom. The F-16 is known to have a little problem associated with the rearward position of its speed brakes...........the opening of the speed brakes at high transonic speeds can actually create enough pressure differential to create a mini sonic boom, even though the aircraft isnt supersonic itself. That's what you're hearing in the video. The pilot accelerated to the point that they all do (mach .94- .97) to get the classic "shock cone" that we all like so much, but didn't let the aircraft slow down enough before engaging the air brakes. The result is the mini sonic boom.
I believe you are correct, as you can hear the engine noise right before the boom. If he had been supersonic, it would have been silence followed by boom and then jet noise. Am I right?
It was a sonic boom, because although sure you can hear a bit of a buildup of sound before, you CAN hear the distinctive ‘double boom’ sound that happens when a plane passes at or over Mach 1
Great video. I think the jet noise we are hearing before the pass is coming through the announcer speakers. I believe they are seated down south by Boeing Plaza for those familiar with the area. You can hear him talking right before. Their mic is picking it up and broadcasting ahead of the aircraft. I was fortunate to be a spectator on the line further to the north and there was no noise until the double boom and associated compression. It was intense.
@@sidv4615 Watched on our 19 inch Black and White TV with my parents and siblings. I had been reading newspapers and paying attention for a couple of years before the Eagle landing. Apollo program was very interesting and exciting for people everywhere.
@@JD-zm4eh man wish i could’ve experienced that, do you remember Apollo 1/13, STS-1/51L/107? what were those like? I was born in '03 and don't have any family member whose old enough to remember those things so i only have to rely on kind people like you on the internet.
How is everyone just sitting like it’s another jet going by, I would be losing my mind from excitement. It’s something you should never see at an air show
Absolutly not a sonic boom (fortunately for the buildings and the people on the ground, by the way). That was a transonic boom when it just starting produce the shock wave (although impressive, it's far less noisy than breaking the sound barrier, as I've already experienced both), he never passed the Mach but cool video and nice sound, great catch.
@@WarbirdVideos I was there in 2019 and again in 2022. I had to go back and check your date again so no I wasn’t there for that one. But I hope I can be forgiven for my enthusiasm, as they do make my ears ring anyways with the amount of kerosene they convert to noise. I was in Barstow Cali and on several occasions heard double booms from jets out of Edwards. I’ll be in Osh again this year too.
@Brian Mason Thanks for getting back to me. The reason I asked is because many people said it wasn't a sonic boom, and some said a trans-sonic boom, which may have been. Anyway, check this video out and see what you think. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html
The explanation I'm getting is that air over certain parts of the aircraft was supersonic. Not the entire aircraft. The entire craft was very close to supersonic. Explains the big-ish booms, but not big enough to damage ear drums and shatter windows?
The sound waves were compressed very far but the aircraft was still behind the shock wave just a little bit. You can tell because you could hear the noise of the jet just a little before it past the camera. Fully supersonic you hear absolutely nothing until it passes, and then all of the sound you would have heard normally is delivered in one intense shock. Even subsonic the compression of the sound creates a very intense boom, just not quite as intense as fully supersonic creates. It's still the best sound most aviation buffs will ever hear. This was mighty cool.
@@jameshisself9324 The jet sound likely came over the announcers mic located at air show center. That sound would have traveled at the speed of light and hit all the speakers. The camera was located over a quarter mile to the left of ASC.
So I have a question for the community. Let's say the plane has gone Mach before it gets to the observer but only for a split second enough to form a cone, and then goes sub-Mach before reaching the observer's location. Would the cone push the engine sound ahead of itself as it continues on its path so as to hear the engine first, then the crack of the boom?
Yeah I was thinking something similar. Maybe it was accelerating and hit Mach 1 as it went by. The sound you hear before the boom could’ve been generated before the jet hit Mach 1 and had enough time to reach the observer and then the sonic boom hit as it went by. I saw another video of a woman talking as this happened and there was a shockwave strong enough to move her hair. Much stronger than the pyro that they set off their.
No, at the last moment before going below mach 1 your plane will still create a boom which travels at mach 1 which is your speed. Then, any moment after that you are slower than sound - meaning you will instantaneously lag behind the very last boom you made, and since you are behind it there is no way for any of your sound to get in front of it. Its never possible to get in front of the sonic boom since you would have to travel faster than sound and then when you do get in front, you will already be making another boom since you are faster than sound
that sounds more like transonic rother than supersonic. the aircraft can be heard approaching that means it moves slower than the sound. Some shock waves are formed already as this is not zero / one phenomenon.
Speed of sound: Mach 1.00 @88*F - 100’ALT = 782mph/679kts @80*F - 100’ = 776mph @30,000’ = 678mph @-47*F Transonic is 0.97-1.20 so I doubt he was supersonic 1.21 or 1.22+ . But if he was 0.95-1.00 you wouldn’t get a bang and you normally would have visible condensation. I can only see a clear shock wave. So he’s def. mach 1 but the f16 is known to have small booms if you kick some surfaces out. Maybe off trims/or so.
@@klk1900 thanks for detailed calculation. this is helpful to understand. just watching the video, it looks like the camera is in the front aspect. In the transonic flight shock wave will be somewhat perpendicular to the aircraft motion direction. so if the engine sound is heard before boom, that would indicate the aircraft velocity vs ground is below M=1. This could be however different if we add wind velocity to the equation. Aircraft velocity vs air could still be equal or slightly higher then M1.
Sound got there before the plane. There probably was some air passing over something on the plane that exceeded the speed of sound but the plane itself was slower than the speed of sound by just a little bit.
I think either that or the plane was already slightly subsonic but his shockwave from being supersonic still passed. He did put on his airbrakes which either did the sonic boom or allowed him to slow down. Either way, no one would EVER put on SPEED BRAKES during a high speed pass...unless of course you were going too fast hahahahaha. Pilot definitely had an "oh shit" moment
@@ahmedsiddiqi90 I think most airshows when they say the plane is supersonic their speed is just below supersonic and the pilot partially opens the speed brake or some other control surface to make a small boom. I was a sonar tech in the Coast Guard and I've seen full blown sonic booms by F-4's and they are way past you by a pretty good distance before the boom hits during exercises. I was sleeping on the steel deck when one hit us and it bounced me off the deck.
It was an accident, they're not allowed to here in the U.S. either, occasionally they do during training exercises as i've witnessed F16s break the sound barrier over my house and shake the whole house, sounded like a cannon at close range.
@@F5Storm1 yeah this happened because speed brakes were left to open, sonic boom can sometimes occur as a local thing in small parts without the whole airframe
@@callmejester6221 yeah, that's how I remember it too. In the video you can hear him coming, but I think it was his sound being picked up through the announcers microphones at air show center and transmitted to all the PA speakers instantaneously. I (and the camera) were located a quarter mile+ to the left of center. We heard two distinct large bangs, as if two barrel bombs went off a few feet in front of us. My wife and I fortunatelly had earplugs in.
@@WarbirdVideos yea I was fueling our teams jet I was gonna video him coming over but I thought wasn’t smart how fast he was coming glad I plugged my ears, I talked to the pilot he was trying to buzz us but went to fast
This was not a supersonic low-approach. It’s not legal to perform supersonic flight over the continental United States by civil aircraft and is only permitted for military aircraft in a national emergency like September 11th. The boom you heard was supersonic air traveling over parts of the aircraft as it entered a transonic envelope. 0.97-0.99 Mach at absolute best.
Sounded like a supersonic boom to me. I've heard them from the space shuttle during certain re-entries when they came up to Florida from Panama. Rattled the windows of my house.
Supersonic flight is not restricted to national emergencies. Out here in So Cal, pilots training in the Edwards AFB R-2508 Complex, fly supersonic all the time, with permission of course.
Very cool of course, but technically subsonic. When they are supersonic you hear absolutely nothing until they are already past you. Probably ~.97-.99 Mach.
@@WarbirdVideos Sorry Steve, this was subsonic. I was using that to try to illustrate it for the layperson. It's not really a debatable conclusion and I'm surprised you are still on about this.
@@WarbirdVideos I've seen the real thing several times. It's a long story to explain why and on the internet no one believes anything and rightfully so. When you know what the real thing is like it's not hard to spot a near supersonic, even transonic event.
@@jameshisself9324 Check this out James. It's hard to explain this any other way except that the F-16 was supersonic. Also, check "Call me Jester's" comments above. The jet flew right over him. th-cam.com/video/QlNxA2AHY7g/w-d-xo.html
Definitely didn’t break the sound barrier. You can head the jet before the boom. I’ve watched multiple videos and every time there’s a sonic boom it’s silent just before.
@dirtytreerat14. There would not have been a sonic boom if he was subsonic when he passed the announcers microphone. When he passed us near Warbird Alley, we heard two very loud pops or bangs, like two barrel bombs exploded right in front of us. I really don’t know what a sonic boom sounds like that close to the source, and the F-16 is very aerodynamic unlike the space shuttle, but that's what we heard. Also, as he passed, his speed brakes were deployed. The tower remarked "good job boomer" to which he replied: "sorry about that".
@@WarbirdVideos I'm hesitant to just flat out believe it was 100% a sonic boom. I've seen videos of real sonic booms shattering windows. There was actually a video in 2016 where jets taking off from an air base in Florida caused someones car windows to be blown out. It is extremely unlikely that no ones car windows were blown out at Oshkosh if it were a real sonic boom. There would have been dozens of posts, stories, and more about people complaining. Now I'm not sure what happened here because I don't know the physics behind it, but the fact that no vehicles near Oshkosh had windows blown out at all says a lot. Also, its quite funny how the ones saying it wasn't a sonic boom are the ones who have flown actual fighter jets and the ones who are saying it was a real boom are all just spectators.
@@dirtytreerat14 I don't know who is a fighter pilot and who is a spectator in the comment section of YT. But here's another view of the same thing. Note that the woman's hair is hit by a shock wave. Plus, there was no sound before the shockwave hit her. th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html
Ive never heard that before but I looked up the video because they said over the next few days in my city in Ohio that they will be doing some night flying with an F-16 and that we may hear them. Flying Weather permitting of course. I just saw that for the first time and thought that was the coolest thing. How exciting and what a job to have WOW! I know any gender can fly but I gotta say to a man flying the f-16, he can prob have any woman he wants lol
The Space Shuttle routinely broke the sound barrier over Texas Louisiana and Florida on its way back to KSC for a landing and it was just a glider not protecting the country.
if you hear an supersonic pass at sealevel say bye to your eardrums. theres a reason why youre only able to go supersonic above 36.000 feet@@crazydavec3861
It's also against the law to go pass the sonic speed and if video proves it the law is enforced... but in this case is just not the case - is not supersonic ...
It wasn't a sonic boom. Of course many will disagree, but there was an audible low pressure sound before the aircraft flew over, which, if you know anything about supersonic travel, if you're going over mach 1.00, you can't hear the aircraft coming at all. What was most likely going on was the aircraft was going high subsonic, probably 0.99 mach, and the air was at such a low pressure that the main sound wave hit just before the aircraft flew over. If it were a sonic boom, there would be eardrums shattered, glass shattered, kids crying, and car alarms going off because of the shockwave. The chance of the aircraft going supersonic is also dimmed by the fact the FAA banned overland supersonic travel in the US in the 1970s because of windows being shattered 30+ miles away from where the boom originated from.
We had two F-16s break the sound barrier over Denmark on June 1st around 4PM local time. Don't know how sonic they went in the process, but the boom was loud enough to be heard in at least a 30 miles and the shockwave big enough to rattle doors and windows. My door , at least, was rattling at the first boom, the second boom was further away from my location. I'm used to the F-16s flying by frequently, just not like that. 😆
@@bernesedog4863 From what I gathered from the news, something was faulty in a civilian plane and sent off a message that they were getting hijacked, they needed to react to it. So it was in essence an emergency, at least in the moment. That nothing was wrong when they got there, was only a good thing.
@@bernesedog4863 I don't know about that one. This one was a plane going from Spain to Norway. It send out that signal while in Danish airspace. It landed safely in Oslo and the pair of F-16s returned to base after escorting them to Oslo. Since nothing happened it probably didn't turn into a big story outside of Denmark and Norway.
Wasn't a sonic boom. The plane can be heard briefley just before reaching the viewer position - if faster then sound we should hear it after. What it is heard is the loud sound that hits the viewers and seem like a boom but the sound has the same amplitude after plane passes.
The sound of the approaching jet came through the announcer's microphones/PA speakers, which was a good quarter of a mile from the announcers. Sound travels at the speed of light when converted to an electronic signal.
Steve, I edit this message to make it short... You say you were " a good quarter of a mile from the announcers " ... microphone ... which is more then 1 second sound travel. That mic should have recorde it's own sound boom. There's only one boom in your video man. I'm not a one that is taking statements like from a bible couse I'm told. I was watching your videos and thei'r nise - not sure why you decided on this reply behavior though ... ?? And why your reply is highlighted? What's so relevant in telling me what I can or I can't do ? Really?
@@WarbirdVideos 4 in my life. They were all much louder than that. The one that sticks out was an F16 in George W. Bush's escort that went supersonic over a populated area. It sounded like a loud boom of thunder, shook the entire house and rattled windows. Turns out car alarms were set off in town and people were not happy about it.
Here is a better video of that Sonic Boom. We used to hear them all the time growing up in Idaho near an Airbase. Used to shake all the windows, and really wake you up. I kinda miss it.....th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=caylamcleod
Subsonic: 0.3 - 0.8 (233mph - 620mph) Transonic: M0.8 - 1.20 (620mph - 929mph) @SOS:774mph (Speed Of Sound: M1.00 @77*F - 500’ - 774mph) Supersonic: M1.21 - 5.00 (937mph - 3,870MPH) Hypersonic: M5.00 - 10.00 (3,870mph - 7,740mph) Remember this is if the speed of sound mach 1: 774mph. 77*F - 500’ 600’ @ATemp: 80*F = 776mph or 675Knots. 1000’ @AirTemp: 95*F = 787MPH or 684KNOTS 35,000’ @ -65*F = 663.66 MPH or 576.77KNOTS That’s a few examples depending on alt @ Airtemp or ST. But it’s very fluid. So any Einstein’s they say “Ohh that’s not the speed of sound”. Trust me, I believe you! I can’t give you the SOS @ every Temp & Altitude here. It’s just a example.
Cool, but not a real Sonic Boom. I live and play near Edwards AFB and China Lake Naval Air Station and know what it sounds like. At that altitude, the concussion would have put a hurt on some eardrums and most would not have been laughing.
@@ThisisGabe120 The video is just a sudden change in sound volume as it switches from being in front to behind the jet. A sonic boom is an overpressure wave like the shockwave from a bomb. [real bomb, not a Hollywood fireball) From that distance, it would have at a minimum noticeably jolted the camera and other objects when it hit.
He may have already slowed down from mach 1 but the shockwave from when he was at mach 1 was propagating still. That or the application of airbreaks caused changes in pressure and temp which caused locally a change in the sound barrier if you will and those boomed. Either way, pilots usually to 0.95, but this pilot very clearly put on his breaks, which is odd for a high speed pass...unless of course you come dangerously close or accidently mess up and go over mach 1
Yeah, God bless Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Argentina, French Guiana, Ecuador, Paraguay, Urugay and maybe the US
I think they were transonic, extremely close to supersonic. And its a good thing they didn't... You'd never see that pilot at an airshow ever again if they did that at that altitude. If anything, you'd see them behind bars
Supersonic flight prohibited over land without very special authorization from the FAA. Seeing that none of the kids or adults were grabbing their ears as well as no damage to anything leads me to believe that this wasn't super. 15 year Air Force pilot, I've seen what they do to people who break regs like this... no pilot wants it.
@@WarbirdVideos well honestly I thought you re-uploaded this and someone added the sound but if this is your video and unedited then that sound would be the sound barrier. He will likely face some punishment and people are lucky there was no damage. Cool video
@@smudent2010 Yeah - It's the real deal. The sound is actually pretty good. You can see the two pops on the sound wave on the edit system. They're 2 frames apart (or 1/15th of a second). I have a $700 mic on the camera and had the gain turned way down because subsonic jets flying that close to the camera always overdrive the AGC circuit. I really didn't expect the sonic boom - nobody did. But really, it was like two barrel bombs blowing a few feet in front of us. It was loud and the jet blast followed a fraction of a second later. He had his speed brakes deployed when he passed. My wife and I always put ear plugs in when the military jets take off. We both have tinnitus.
It was a boom, but given the other context and the mildness of the boom, the jet was not supersonic. I am no expert at all in this topic, but it may be that portions of the jet experienced supersonic airspeed while the majority did not. I also saw a claim that it was a vapor shockwave thingy, no idea about that. in any case, if the jet was supersonic, the boom would have been very severe. simply the tips of the propeller of the thunderscreech being supersonic is enough to make people sick, a much larger object, such as a jet, usually damages objects, and anatomy.
Idiots saying it wasn't a boom, yes it was a sonic boom. Chances are it was an oops moment. In the UK sonic booms are only allowed during emergencies, like scrambles, not during displays. Allowed over water but not built up areas, unless its a scramble.
In the UK they are allowed to go super sonic during emergencies, false information fella. Only during emergencies. Maybe in the USA, but the UK they are allowed to go Super Sonic. I have heard Typhoons from 29 squadron coningsby go over my house at Super Sonic before. The FAA give them full permission to go Super Sonic in a Scramble situation. They will not slow down because of the public, if an emergency has been given and they need to intercept quickly, they are free to go super sonic. It takes a Typhoon to reach London in 10 Minutes, and they fly around 760mph, even faster, they escort threats into Stansted Airport, which is the home of terrorist or Hijacked incidents. Another incident in the UK several years ago was an F-15E from Lakenheath, she accidentally past super sonic and apologized as a boom was heard, it was reported because it was a non emergency peacetime exercise. Misinformation, During displays they are not allowed to fly super sonic, you are correct sub sonic 700mph is allowed, but nobody was in the cockpit of the F-16 to prove it wasn't Super Sonic, all im gonna say is, it was pretty close.@@silverfox1546
Was you in the Cockpit of the F-16 at the time? Mistakes can happen. I say it was pretty close to 760mph as i stated below, they are allowed to go supersonic during emergencies ordered by the FAA, also known as the CAA in the UK. If an emergency is ordered they can fly super sonic, not during airshows though. @@Legiboi

Those jets are capable of creating deadly sonic booms people would have ruptured ear drums down there i don't think its sonic boom just a sudden crank of an afterburner of f16 flyby
I was in the warbird area when he did this. Not a full mach 1.2 boom, but he had to be pushing mach 1.0-1.05. It was enough to feel it in your chest, blow off some hats, and set off car alarms.
Folks, trust me when I say that this was no sonic boom. I can understand how the average person would think that this was. In my 20 years in the Marine corps, I've heard/experienced more than a few.....THIS WASN'T EVEN CLOSE! Allow me to enlighten you: An aircraft going supersonic, or traveling faster than the speed of sound is what creates a sonic boom. Sound travels at about 760 MPH (depending on air density, moisture etc). Sure, there was a sudden change in air pressure and sound due to the F-16's (which can actually travel twice the speed of sound) high speed of travel (probably pretty close to 700 MPH). Another indicator is the fact that a pilot is not allowed supersonic over land (unless it's combat or a national emergency) without special permission. For safety reasons, protocol mandates that a pilot would have to be over water at least 30 miles off the coastline to go supersonic; this mandate is in the interest of safety. If an F-16 (or any capable aircraft) were to go supersonic at an airshow (like this) with all those people, cars, buildings etc (like this) at an altitude as low as in this video, people would be injured and property would be destroyed.....it just wouldn't happen.
Indeed. I remember a case when two readiness F16s were scrambled in Greece a couple years back to intercept an airliner who entered airspace and failed to respond to any hailing by the control tower. The sonic booms caused such a fuss that people were calling the police about two loud explosions in an area almost 50 kilometers in diameter. And i also heard such a boom some 5 years back while on the beach. I can know for sure if it was a supersonic aircraft or a meteorite, but a sudden bang, muffled a bit by distance but solid sound nonetheless, shook everyone on the beach. My guess was that someone went supersonic during exercise, somewhere in the distance inside the mediterranean. Yeah, a sonic boom that close would be havoc
@@egooidios5061 I've seen several sonic boom videos on YT, and frankly, I don't see what you're talking about... In fact, my video is much better that the Navy video below.

If you can hear the sound of the jet before you hear the "boom", like you definitely can in this video, the jet was NOT supersonic. The whole definition of "supersonic" means the jet would be ahead of all of its noise and the VERY FIRST thing you'd hear is the boom. All of the jet's sound is behind that shock wave. It's an extremely simple concept.

Usually between mach .95-1 the air brake can cause a sonic boom, the whole aircraft itself wasnt supersonic, just the waves forming over the air brakes, as the air there is being compressed just enough to overlap sound waves and create a boom. More than likely what happened here
No dude, that is a actual sonic boom
Nice accidental boom and it def was one having heard a few in my life.
I’ve seen tons of videos on this F-16 breaking the sound barrier and they are all very positive and the crowds seemed stoked!! I’ve searched local media looking for nearby home owners complaining of damage, but nothing so far.
That was the first sonic boom I experiences at close range and the shock wave wasn't that bad at all. It really has to do with the size of AC and the aerodynamics. I think the broken window blasts are not common and could be more Hollywood than reality.
it wasnt super sonic, and this video proves it.
18 seconds in, start from there, you can HEAR THE JET before he passes. if he was Super Sonic, you would not hear him prior
there are literally hundreds of F-16 and other military pilots on forums all over the place saying, no he was not super sonic.
@@WarbirdVideos sonic booms are sonic booms period. aircraft design by default has minimal to do with it unless specific elements are in play ( Sonic Spike for instance to actively reduce the sonic compression happening )
this wasnt Hollywood:
th-cam.com/video/43Kl7c2yU3g/w-d-xo.html
Was a Mach 1.05 Pass, and resulted in hundreds of medical calls for ruptured ear drums and a $250,000 Repair bill to replace all that glass.
That F-16 was NOT super sonic and as i just commented, hundreds of military pilots in many forums are saying that with confidence.
This was a nice satisfying crack but as others have said, the plane was not supersonic - you hear it before it passes you. I grew up at China Lake (the Navy R&D/test base in the Mojave Desert and home of the VX-9 Vampires who were also at Airventure) and if he had been truly in the mach speeds, "wasn't that bad at all" would not be part of the description.
One guy did a low pass over the base when I was in 6th grade and it took out at least 28 windows (that plus a light fixture were how many the janitor had counted by the time he got to our room) as well as some shelves at the commissary. It probably ded a bunch of other damage as well.
I turned down my volume and covered my ears in preparation, but I still jumped!
Ok, this could be a boom but it is not allowed at air show accept at one at Edward AFB, California. Even then they break 20,000+ feet. What could have happened is that he went over Mach 0.97 then deployed speed brakes and made a mini sonic boom.
I have the biggest grin right now
evne in a video its just so freaking satisfying
I'd say the Air Force should quietly promote the guy! If I'm not mistaken, admission for kids was free this year--so there were bound to be a lot of them there. So to see and hear an aircraft go supersonic up close and personal may well drive up recruitment...much the way that Top Gun did so for the Navy, back in the 80s.
Good job Major. Nice "oops" there, IMHO. Too bad it wasn't on Saturday.
0:13 "Hey Rob, have you seen Toro anywhere?"
0:16 "I don't know-- Oh, wait a minute!"
0:18 (F-16 approaches)
0:20 BOOM!
"Oh wait a minute!"
*vipers got you in the pipe 5x5 your journey ends here pilot*
I was sitting probably 10 feet from you when this happened😂. I have the sonic boom on film also and this was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and recorded.
Yep. Way cool!
So freaking cool
What we heard was NOT a sonic boom. Sort of. Instead, what it actually was, was a "mini" sonic boom. The F-16 is known to have a little problem associated with the rearward position of its speed brakes...........the opening of the speed brakes at high transonic speeds can actually create enough pressure differential to create a mini sonic boom, even though the aircraft isnt supersonic itself. That's what you're hearing in the video. The pilot accelerated to the point that they all do (mach .94- .97) to get the classic "shock cone" that we all like so much, but didn't let the aircraft slow down enough before engaging the air brakes. The result is the mini sonic boom.
OK. I've heard all sides of this. But look at the video of the actual shockwave. Https://th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html
I believe you are correct, as you can hear the engine noise right before the boom. If he had been supersonic, it would have been silence followed by boom and then jet noise. Am I right?
@@WarbirdVideos You can hear the jet first in that video, too. All shock waves are not supersonic shock waves. Still not supersonic.
It was a sonic boom, because although sure you can hear a bit of a buildup of sound before, you CAN hear the distinctive ‘double boom’ sound that happens when a plane passes at or over Mach 1
Yep. The sound prior is the PA system at air show center. I was to the left by a quarter mile, and the announcers mics were open.
“Oh wait a minute!”

Great video. I think the jet noise we are hearing before the pass is coming through the announcer speakers. I believe they are seated down south by Boeing Plaza for those familiar with the area. You can hear him talking right before. Their mic is picking it up and broadcasting ahead of the aircraft. I was fortunate to be a spectator on the line further to the north and there was no noise until the double boom and associated compression. It was intense.
But, don't let CapStar362 know that. He thinks he "knows" better. The troll claims he was there.
In the 60's we used to hear them quite often living in Southern California near the Mojave desert.

Thanks for sharing! Gave me goosebumps!!
How is everyone just sitting like it’s another jet going by, I would be losing my mind from excitement. It’s something you should never see at an air show
this is the 1st time i ever seen an f16 break a sound barrier
For f16s it is a piece of cake, a moment of pilot's inattention and we have a boom
Absolutly not a sonic boom (fortunately for the buildings and the people on the ground, by the way). That was a transonic boom when it just starting produce the shock wave (although impressive, it's far less noisy than breaking the sound barrier, as I've already experienced both), he never passed the Mach but cool video and nice sound, great catch.
I'm sure he had some explaining to do after that
Dude i have never herd a boom that loud before
Find some F-14 videos. Much better.
could this be the sound that was in DC
Yes the exact same type of jet
Yup !
Confirm.
Not as strong or felt miles away…
Why can’t you hear a jet engine at all in the DC video?
For those saying this is not a sonic boom, you are wrong. This is a sonic boom.
Actually your wrong, it’s a sonic boom and not a sonic boom
Ok. This is a sonic boom in subsonic flight (or transonic)
Not a sonic boom
This sound is boom 💥💥

I was in Barstow Cali and on several occasions heard double booms from jets out of Edwards. I’ll be in Osh again this year too.
@Brian Mason Thanks for getting back to me. The reason I asked is because many people said it wasn't a sonic boom, and some said a trans-sonic boom, which may have been. Anyway, check this video out and see what you think. Thanks.

I smiled!
Jumpscared me tbh
They do that at lower level to scare the s**t out of insurgents.
The explanation I'm getting is that air over certain parts of the aircraft was supersonic. Not the entire aircraft. The entire craft was very close to supersonic. Explains the big-ish booms, but not big enough to damage ear drums and shatter windows?
th-cam.com/video/GvtAElaDVz8/w-d-xo.html
The sound waves were compressed very far but the aircraft was still behind the shock wave just a little bit. You can tell because you could hear the noise of the jet just a little before it past the camera. Fully supersonic you hear absolutely nothing until it passes, and then all of the sound you would have heard normally is delivered in one intense shock.
Even subsonic the compression of the sound creates a very intense boom, just not quite as intense as fully supersonic creates. It's still the best sound most aviation buffs will ever hear. This was mighty cool.
@@jameshisself9324 The jet sound likely came over the announcers mic located at air show center. That sound would have traveled at the speed of light and hit all the speakers. The camera was located over a quarter mile to the left of ASC.
@@WarbirdVideos That is some nice theory to explain a conclusion other than the obvious one. Ever heard of Occam's razor?
So that's what ~800mph looks like...
OMG !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍
Para los amantes de la aviacion es musica para los oidos
So I have a question for the community. Let's say the plane has gone Mach before it gets to the observer but only for a split second enough to form a cone, and then goes sub-Mach before reaching the observer's location. Would the cone push the engine sound ahead of itself as it continues on its path so as to hear the engine first, then the crack of the boom?
lol no
Yeah I was thinking something similar. Maybe it was accelerating and hit Mach 1 as it went by. The sound you hear before the boom could’ve been generated before the jet hit Mach 1 and had enough time to reach the observer and then the sonic boom hit as it went by. I saw another video of a woman talking as this happened and there was a shockwave strong enough to move her hair. Much stronger than the pyro that they set off their.
No, at the last moment before going below mach 1 your plane will still create a boom which travels at mach 1 which is your speed. Then, any moment after that you are slower than sound - meaning you will instantaneously lag behind the very last boom you made, and since you are behind it there is no way for any of your sound to get in front of it.
Its never possible to get in front of the sonic boom since you would have to travel faster than sound and then when you do get in front, you will already be making another boom since you are faster than sound
@@o_sch got it. Thanks.
Wow!
It scared me lol
that sounds more like transonic rother than supersonic. the aircraft can be heard approaching that means it moves slower than the sound. Some shock waves are formed already as this is not zero / one phenomenon.
It could be supersonic waves caused by the air brakes. When they are going .97 .98 and they open the brakes they can sometimes cause sonic booms
Yeah, you can CLEARLY hear the aircraft approaching before it gets loud.
Speed of sound:
Mach 1.00
@88*F - 100’ALT = 782mph/679kts
@80*F - 100’ = 776mph
@30,000’ = 678mph @-47*F
Transonic is 0.97-1.20 so I doubt he was supersonic 1.21 or 1.22+ . But if he was 0.95-1.00 you wouldn’t get a bang and you normally would have visible condensation. I can only see a clear shock wave. So he’s def. mach 1 but the f16 is known to have small booms if you kick some surfaces out. Maybe off trims/or so.
@@klk1900 thanks for detailed calculation. this is helpful to understand. just watching the video, it looks like the camera is in the front aspect. In the transonic flight shock wave will be somewhat perpendicular to the aircraft motion direction. so if the engine sound is heard before boom, that would indicate the aircraft velocity vs ground is below M=1. This could be however different if we add wind velocity to the equation. Aircraft velocity vs air could still be equal or slightly higher then M1.
Mini boom
Transonic. Beautiful.
Amazing
Thunder ⛈️ birds 🐦 💥🛩😊
Sound got there before the plane. There probably was some air passing over something on the plane that exceeded the speed of sound but the plane itself was slower than the speed of sound by just a little bit.
I think the sound came from the announcers microphones at air show center.
I think either that or the plane was already slightly subsonic but his shockwave from being supersonic still passed. He did put on his airbrakes which either did the sonic boom or allowed him to slow down. Either way, no one would EVER put on SPEED BRAKES during a high speed pass...unless of course you were going too fast hahahahaha. Pilot definitely had an "oh shit" moment
F-16 can cause a boom with the speed brakes at around 0.9 Mach. So you’re right about the aircraft not being supersonic.
@@ahmedsiddiqi90 I think most airshows when they say the plane is supersonic their speed is just below supersonic and the pilot partially opens the speed brake or some other control surface to make a small boom. I was a sonar tech in the Coast Guard and I've seen full blown sonic booms by F-4's and they are way past you by a pretty good distance before the boom hits during exercises. I was sleeping on the steel deck when one hit us and it bounced me off the deck.
@@tomtrenter3208 Most airshows will never tell you a plane is supersonic because they're not allowed to do it.
I like how this guy is constantly posting a link to a video which confirms that this was not supersonic
Here is a video of the exact same flyby where you can with 100% certainty say this is not supersonic
I was at the SOS tent. Ofcourse I missed this. Awesome though.
Hey - the SOS Happy Face tent is pretty awesome in itself! We closed it down on Saturday night (as usual)!
Anyone know the music at the start?
One of my personal favorites. “Unstoppable” by The Score.
its a shame they not aloud to break sound barrier in UK :( hows
It was an accident, they're not allowed to here in the U.S. either, occasionally they do during training exercises as i've witnessed F16s break the sound barrier over my house and shake the whole house, sounded like a cannon at close range.
@@F5Storm1 yeah this happened because speed brakes were left to open, sonic boom can sometimes occur as a local thing in small parts without the whole airframe
Nice
Hi Steve, any chance to use this sound for my family home video, please? Spectacular. I hope to be there this summer.
Sure! Thanks for asking.
I was at my l39 right below it when he came over me
There's a big question about whether the jet was subsonic or supersonic. What do you think?
@@WarbirdVideos supersonic because I saw it happen and he was quiet which means he was super sonic bc it sounded like a explosion once he passed by
@@callmejester6221 yeah, that's how I remember it too. In the video you can hear him coming, but I think it was his sound being picked up through the announcers microphones at air show center and transmitted to all the PA speakers instantaneously. I (and the camera) were located a quarter mile+ to the left of center. We heard two distinct large bangs, as if two barrel bombs went off a few feet in front of us. My wife and I fortunatelly had earplugs in.
@@WarbirdVideos yea I was fueling our teams jet I was gonna video him coming over but I thought wasn’t smart how fast he was coming glad I plugged my ears, I talked to the pilot he was trying to buzz us but went to fast
@@callmejester6221 Bottom line... it was f'ng cool!
This was not a supersonic low-approach. It’s not legal to perform supersonic flight over the continental United States by civil aircraft and is only permitted for military aircraft in a national emergency like September 11th. The boom you heard was supersonic air traveling over parts of the aircraft as it entered a transonic envelope. 0.97-0.99 Mach at absolute best.
Guess you were there? th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html
Sounded like a supersonic boom to me. I've heard them from the space shuttle during certain re-entries when they came up to Florida from Panama. Rattled the windows of my house.
lmao it was supersonic... Not only was I there but I have talked to the guy after the fact
@@ethanhiggins4887 well that guy would literally be fired...
Supersonic flight is not restricted to national emergencies. Out here in So Cal, pilots training in the Edwards AFB R-2508 Complex, fly supersonic all the time, with permission of course.
Prob not a sonic boom it is illegal the pilot would get his wings token away which means like he won’t fly anymore
Like he did it on purpose... duh...
It's not illegal lmao. It's just not advisable and they don't lose their wings over it.
Very cool of course, but technically subsonic. When they are supersonic you hear absolutely nothing until they are already past you. Probably ~.97-.99 Mach.
As others have said, the engine sound heard before the jet passed likely came from the announcers microphone which is located at air show center.
@@WarbirdVideos Sorry Steve, this was subsonic. I was using that to try to illustrate it for the layperson. It's not really a debatable conclusion and I'm surprised you are still on about this.
@@jameshisself9324 where were you when you saw it?
@@WarbirdVideos I've seen the real thing several times. It's a long story to explain why and on the internet no one believes anything and rightfully so. When you know what the real thing is like it's not hard to spot a near supersonic, even transonic event.
@@jameshisself9324 Check this out James. It's hard to explain this any other way except that the F-16 was supersonic. Also, check "Call me Jester's" comments above. The jet flew right over him. th-cam.com/video/QlNxA2AHY7g/w-d-xo.html
Chasing the Angels!!!
Definitely didn’t break the sound barrier. You can head the jet before the boom. I’ve watched multiple videos and every time there’s a sonic boom it’s silent just before.
The sound of the jet came through the announcers microphone, and you heard it through the speakers a quarter mile away as the jet approached.
@@WarbirdVideos if it was a sonic boom wouldn’t you have heard the boom through the speakers first?
@dirtytreerat14. There would not have been a sonic boom if he was subsonic when he passed the announcers microphone. When he passed us near Warbird Alley, we heard two very loud pops or bangs, like two barrel bombs exploded right in front of us. I really don’t know what a sonic boom sounds like that close to the source, and the F-16 is very aerodynamic unlike the space shuttle, but that's what we heard. Also, as he passed, his speed brakes were deployed. The tower remarked "good job boomer" to which he replied: "sorry about that".
@@WarbirdVideos I'm hesitant to just flat out believe it was 100% a sonic boom. I've seen videos of real sonic booms shattering windows. There was actually a video in 2016 where jets taking off from an air base in Florida caused someones car windows to be blown out. It is extremely unlikely that no ones car windows were blown out at Oshkosh if it were a real sonic boom. There would have been dozens of posts, stories, and more about people complaining. Now I'm not sure what happened here because I don't know the physics behind it, but the fact that no vehicles near Oshkosh had windows blown out at all says a lot. Also, its quite funny how the ones saying it wasn't a sonic boom are the ones who have flown actual fighter jets and the ones who are saying it was a real boom are all just spectators.
@@dirtytreerat14 I don't know who is a fighter pilot and who is a spectator in the comment section of YT. But here's another view of the same thing. Note that the woman's hair is hit by a shock wave. Plus, there was no sound before the shockwave hit her.
th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html
Ive never heard that before but I looked up the video because they said over the next few days in my city in Ohio that they will be doing some night flying with an F-16 and that we may hear them. Flying Weather permitting of course. I just saw that for the first time and thought that was the coolest thing. How exciting and what a job to have WOW! I know any gender can fly but I gotta say to a man flying the f-16, he can prob have any woman he wants lol
Airspeed over Mach 1 is forbidden in the continental United States, unless in protection of the country.
Accidents happen, right?
The Space Shuttle routinely broke the sound barrier over Texas Louisiana and Florida on its way back to KSC for a landing and it was just a glider not protecting the country.
Yup, here in UK going above Mach 1 is forbidden for air shows. Shame really, I'd be up for seeing that for sure! 😁

@@lars9966 not true
I was there. Toro hit 0.999999999999999999999999999 Mach.
It's also against the law to go pass the sonic speed and if video proves it the law is enforced... but in this case is just not the case - is not supersonic ...
It wasn't a sonic boom. Of course many will disagree, but there was an audible low pressure sound before the aircraft flew over, which, if you know anything about supersonic travel, if you're going over mach 1.00, you can't hear the aircraft coming at all. What was most likely going on was the aircraft was going high subsonic, probably 0.99 mach, and the air was at such a low pressure that the main sound wave hit just before the aircraft flew over. If it were a sonic boom, there would be eardrums shattered, glass shattered, kids crying, and car alarms going off because of the shockwave. The chance of the aircraft going supersonic is also dimmed by the fact the FAA banned overland supersonic travel in the US in the 1970s because of windows being shattered 30+ miles away from where the boom originated from.
We had two F-16s break the sound barrier over Denmark on June 1st around 4PM local time.
Don't know how sonic they went in the process, but the boom was loud enough to be heard in at least a 30 miles and the shockwave big enough to rattle doors and windows. My door , at least, was rattling at the first boom, the second boom was further away from my location.
I'm used to the F-16s flying by frequently, just not like that. 😆
If f-16s are scrambled for a “emergency” situation they are allowed to go over mach 1
@@bernesedog4863 From what I gathered from the news, something was faulty in a civilian plane and sent off a message that they were getting hijacked, they needed to react to it.

Wasn't a sonic boom. The plane can be heard briefley just before reaching the viewer position - if faster then sound we should hear it after.
What it is heard is the loud sound that hits the viewers and seem like a boom but the sound has the same amplitude after plane passes.
The sound of the approaching jet came through the announcer's microphones/PA speakers, which was a good quarter of a mile from the announcers. Sound travels at the speed of light when converted to an electronic signal.

yea that was
@@jtkoontz69 No, you can hear the plane before it passes, supersonic aircraft are silent before the overpressure wave is much more powerful.
If it’s not a sonic boom, what is it? Just wondering.
@@ThisisGabe120 The video is just a sudden change in sound volume as it switches from being in front to behind the jet. A sonic boom is an overpressure wave like the shockwave from a bomb. [real bomb, not a Hollywood fireball)
From that distance, it would have at a minimum noticeably jolted the camera and other objects when it hit.
Why did the pilot get disciplined after that pass though?
Experienced something similar at Langley this weekend.. definitely not a sonic boom. But a cool treat indeed!👍
Soooo fucking cool my dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
There was a sound before hearing that Boom!!
🤔
the plain engine?
He may have already slowed down from mach 1 but the shockwave from when he was at mach 1 was propagating still. That or the application of airbreaks caused changes in pressure and temp which caused locally a change in the sound barrier if you will and those boomed. Either way, pilots usually to 0.95, but this pilot very clearly put on his breaks, which is odd for a high speed pass...unless of course you come dangerously close or accidently mess up and go over mach 1

I think they were transonic, extremely close to supersonic. And its a good thing they didn't... You'd never see that pilot at an airshow ever again if they did that at that altitude. If anything, you'd see them behind bars
that's exactly what it was.
Supersonic flight prohibited over land without very special authorization from the FAA. Seeing that none of the kids or adults were grabbing their ears as well as no damage to anything leads me to believe that this wasn't super. 15 year Air Force pilot, I've seen what they do to people who break regs like this... no pilot wants it.

@@WarbirdVideos well honestly I thought you re-uploaded this and someone added the sound but if this is your video and unedited then that sound would be the sound barrier. He will likely face some punishment and people are lucky there was no damage. Cool video
@@smudent2010 Yeah - It's the real deal. The sound is actually pretty good. You can see the two pops on the sound wave on the edit system. They're 2 frames apart (or 1/15th of a second).
I have a $700 mic on the camera and had the gain turned way down because subsonic jets flying that close to the camera always overdrive the AGC circuit. I really didn't expect the sonic boom - nobody did. But really, it was like two barrel bombs blowing a few feet in front of us. It was loud and the jet blast followed a fraction of a second later. He had his speed brakes deployed when he passed. My wife and I always put ear plugs in when the military jets take off. We both have tinnitus.
She, and her hair, are pretty convinced he went super.

Almost a sonic boom, not quite
That was a sonic boom. There’s tons more videos on it. Pilot did a big oops
@@Porsche4life Just rewatched it, yeah thats definitely a boom. Oopsie
This is a Sonic boom..u know what boom means right?? 🤓🤓
It was a boom, but given the other context and the mildness of the boom, the jet was not supersonic. I am no expert at all in this topic, but it may be that portions of the jet experienced supersonic airspeed while the majority did not. I also saw a claim that it was a vapor shockwave thingy, no idea about that. in any case, if the jet was supersonic, the boom would have been very severe. simply the tips of the propeller of the thunderscreech being supersonic is enough to make people sick, a much larger object, such as a jet, usually damages objects, and anatomy.
oopsie
Dead giveaway that it broke the sound barrier, camera shake. Doesn’t happen at typical airshows. I’ve been to plenty, trust me.
I would think that that was a sonic boom there would be windows broken, car alarms going off and peoples eardrums injured. We saw none of that.
Check this video. The woman's hair is blasted forward by air pressure, not by jet blast or wind. th-cam.com/video/vZlTFzitir4/w-d-xo.html

Idiots saying it wasn't a boom, yes it was a sonic boom. Chances are it was an oops moment. In the UK sonic booms are only allowed during emergencies, like scrambles, not during displays. Allowed over water but not built up areas, unless its a scramble.
That’s because it’s the demonstration team. I also don’t believe it’s supersonic I believe it’s transonic
Transonic or subsonic FAA and other restrictions don’t allow over populated areas. Mach 0.90-.95 or around 700 mph.
In the UK they are allowed to go super sonic during emergencies, false information fella. Only during emergencies. Maybe in the USA, but the UK they are allowed to go Super Sonic. I have heard Typhoons from 29 squadron coningsby go over my house at Super Sonic before. The FAA give them full permission to go Super Sonic in a Scramble situation. They will not slow down because of the public, if an emergency has been given and they need to intercept quickly, they are free to go super sonic. It takes a Typhoon to reach London in 10 Minutes, and they fly around 760mph, even faster, they escort threats into Stansted Airport, which is the home of terrorist or Hijacked incidents.
Another incident in the UK several years ago was an F-15E from Lakenheath, she accidentally past super sonic and apologized as a boom was heard, it was reported because it was a non emergency peacetime exercise.
Misinformation, During displays they are not allowed to fly super sonic, you are correct sub sonic 700mph is allowed, but nobody was in the cockpit of the F-16 to prove it wasn't Super Sonic, all im gonna say is, it was pretty close.@@silverfox1546
Was you in the Cockpit of the F-16 at the time? Mistakes can happen. I say it was pretty close to 760mph as i stated below, they are allowed to go supersonic during emergencies ordered by the FAA, also known as the CAA in the UK. If an emergency is ordered they can fly super sonic, not during airshows though. @@Legiboi
@@KillingSpree193you keep mentioning the UK. From Pensacola Florida, dad a Navy pilot, many friends too. Thanks for your English input BUT here the a seat. You’re trying to lecture the wrong person.
Was that real?
not a chance
Ofcourse.That was Real..Don't listen to the above guy's comment. He still Lives in the Stone age.and as your username says "Future pilot". I hope you will become a Pilot one day. All The Best. 😇
Those jets are capable of creating deadly sonic booms people would have ruptured ear drums down there i don't think its sonic boom just a sudden crank of an afterburner of f16 flyby
I was in the warbird area when he did this. Not a full mach 1.2 boom, but he had to be pushing mach 1.0-1.05. It was enough to feel it in your chest, blow off some hats, and set off car alarms.
@@euchreairgaming .98 to 1.0 transonic that's what he was doing. if he is 1.05 than he is super sonic. that's NOT what he was doing.
Folks, trust me when I say that this was no sonic boom. I can understand how the average person would think that this was. In my 20 years in the Marine corps, I've heard/experienced more than a few.....THIS WASN'T EVEN CLOSE! Allow me to enlighten you: An aircraft going supersonic, or traveling faster than the speed of sound is what creates a sonic boom. Sound travels at about 760 MPH (depending on air density, moisture etc). Sure, there was a sudden change in air pressure and sound due to the F-16's (which can actually travel twice the speed of sound) high speed of travel (probably pretty close to 700 MPH). Another indicator is the fact that a pilot is not allowed supersonic over land (unless it's combat or a national emergency) without special permission. For safety reasons, protocol mandates that a pilot would have to be over water at least 30 miles off the coastline to go supersonic; this mandate is in the interest of safety. If an F-16 (or any capable aircraft) were to go supersonic at an airshow (like this) with all those people, cars, buildings etc (like this) at an altitude as low as in this video, people would be injured and property would be destroyed.....it just wouldn't happen.

Nah there are plenty of videos and documents showing the sound barrier was broken at this air show. Mind you accidentally but it did happen.
Indeed. I remember a case when two readiness F16s were scrambled in Greece a couple years back to intercept an airliner who entered airspace and failed to respond to any hailing by the control tower. The sonic booms caused such a fuss that people were calling the police about two loud explosions in an area almost 50 kilometers in diameter.
And i also heard such a boom some 5 years back while on the beach. I can know for sure if it was a supersonic aircraft or a meteorite, but a sudden bang, muffled a bit by distance but solid sound nonetheless, shook everyone on the beach. My guess was that someone went supersonic during exercise, somewhere in the distance inside the mediterranean.
Yeah, a sonic boom that close would be havoc
@@egooidios5061 I've seen several sonic boom videos on YT, and frankly, I don't see what you're talking about... In fact, my video is much better that the Navy video below.

If you can hear the sound of the jet before you hear the "boom", like you definitely can in this video, the jet was NOT supersonic.
The whole definition of "supersonic" means the jet would be ahead of all of its noise and the VERY FIRST thing you'd hear is the boom. All of the jet's sound is behind that shock wave. It's an extremely simple concept.
That was not a sonic boom.
Wrong
Care to say what it was?
🗨️🐰
probably a reduction in rank for that "circus-stunt fly-by"
From what I heard another pilot lost his edge, so they are sending this Maverick to Top Gun this year!
@@sd9967 lol
Lol not likely. You need to really do something criminally illegal to lose rank. Breaking regs will just get you to fly a desk for a while
