#5  We lived across the Alabama river from Maxwell AFB in the late 50's to mid 60's. Sonic booms were common.

#4  We get one now and then when a Falcon booster recovers to the Cape, if the weather is just right.

#3  During the Vietnam days, we'd be on the playground and hear the booms when the jets went supersonic as they hit the coast. A weekly occurence back then.

#2  DC sonic boom yesterday as F-16s scramble to intercept unresponsive plane.

Joe was reportedly playing golf at Andrews when the jets roared off. I bet his Secret Service guys were excited.

#1  ...I've felt the double boom of an SR-71. That gets your attention.
