     @chris Makes my heart race seeing that.
     I remember the old times watching that sort of thing from the deck of an aircraft carrier where the pilots didn't worry about kissing the sound barrier. You'd know you were in for it when you couldn't hear a thing as you saw them coming right at you. And then you'd see the Mach cone start to form. Uh-oh 😬. B-Bang!

     @chris Oops! Subsonic planes shouldn't do that. Unless it's cheap glass and they're right on the waterfront. In which case you'll probably see those same windows broken out come the regular winter storms.
