Blue Angels over Lake Washington for seafair 2010.

Listen for the sonic boom just past 1/2 half way at 1:07. I nearly dropped the camera!

  • That did sound a lot like a sonic boom. You hear the boom and then you hear the jet noise, which happened here. The Blues never do that though so it is surprising it happened in such a populated area. Was there any press reports on it?

  • @gtc1961 - Actually - the 'solo' in the last half of the video isn't one of the Angels.

    When their performance finished, Boeing put on a show. You might notice that it's painted grey rather than blue. Someone told me this one came out of Widbey Island?

    I lived in Kern county where Edwards AFB is for 40 years. In the 50s and 60s, we where always hearing sonic booms.

    In this case I barely saw it - it was silent until it passed overhead and BANG! Far louder than in the video.

  • i was there when they did the sonic boom

  • @mamaligakiller - A witness - Great! I think these contrarians should turn up the volume.

  • Blue Angels= WonderBolts

  • the boom was caused by an f18 the same planes used for the blue angels

  • 1:10 that indeed was a sonic boom...nice deal.

  • I was working at Madrona Beach when it broke when it broke the sound barrier! I swear it was right over me, and when it happened I felt my clothes press against me when it flew over. Then car alarms proceeded to sound off. Pretty cool experience!

  • @oldsport500 Yep, that sounds about right. I was in the Navy and our Tomcats would go supersonic all the time, sometimes at 200 feet! I was always amazed at seeing this 68,000 pund aircraft wiz by without a sound, then you hear the boom, then you hear the jet noise. I miss it!

  • @wazzuhell The F-15's did it at 30,000 feet, this F-18 did it below 1000 feet.  The higher the aircraft is when it breaks the sound barier, the further the sonic boom will travel/be heard.

  • Not super sonic, use common sense now. The F15's were heard all over the Puget Sound. Imagine what it would've done to everyone that close. Just click on a video of an actual fighter going super sonic and you'll understand.
