Watch as Blue Angel #5 goes a little faster than planned at the Friday practice show of NAS Oceana 2007. This would make the third time I have heard the barrier in my life. Good Stuff!

Myth number 1, and one of the biggest. You will not always see a cone when breaking the sound barrier. Myth number 2: Breaking of windows and also knocking people off their feet is a joke. Windows move with the pressure, people jump with the fright,, they all will hold up just fine. I believe this is just a mini boom due to the accelerated air over the right side of the aircraft. ..

Not broken. He climbed and turned first to scrub speed off once he got close. Nice video though.

@ktm511 yeah if it goes fast enough.

@yoyoyoyoshua so a jet the size of a pencil would still put a thud in your chest?

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@ktm511 dude the type of plane doesn't mean anything a sonic boom is a sonic boom it's loud no matter what.

[ktm511]

@yoyoyoyoshua Not on a hornet, now a tomcat was definitely way louder because there was a bigger pressure wave. Ive experienced that one on the USS Enterprise.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@ktm511 no it did not. a sonic boom is wayy louder then that

[ktm511]

@yoyoyoyoshua sure did bud. good enough pop to hit ya in the chest and shake a steady camera.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@ktm511 did u hear a boom

[ktm511]

@yoyoyoyoshua sure, the camera just abruptly shook for no reason at all.

[yoyoyoyoshua]
