When I used to attend CalPoly in San Luis Obispo, Calif. in the mid sixties it freaked the hell out me everytime a couple of Air Force F-4 broke the sound barrier right over my head. They were studying the people's adaptability to those booms. In a matter of months they learned that 99% hated them. Newton´s physics laws remain alive and well so I don't expect the XB-1 to be substantially "less booming".

Yippee.

I grew up in northern Michigan, when there were planes from Ohio(?) breaking the sound barrier many times in a day. It freaked the hell out of animals, and humans alike. I hope they are limited to 'booming' off the shore of land.

Nice. I grew up in the UP (Ontonagon) and remember those very well. It would shake the windows in the house. Cool stuff for a young kid.
