Living in LA and hearing the sonic boom as the shuttle would come in to land at Edwards was quite the experience - we all thought it would be common yet now it is gone never to be heard again. Similarly I can recall passing though Heathrow back in the day where Concorde had flights pretty much daily - the sound of that thing taking off was insane 😎😎😎
