Don't wish to spoil your day ftrplt, but I have been witness to one other Mach 1 event and didn't need hospitalisation then either.......whilst standing on a dirt track way out the back of Charleville, again on exercise, this time with the Army, an F111 did a fly over, complete with sonic boom and shockwave, and none of us were hurt........other than a few brown stains on certain bits of undergarments for those who were not aware of what was happening!!!!
This time the aircraft was about 500'AGL and was most definately on the other side of the barrier...no question about it!
Again, a sight to behold and one hell of an experience.......
pity the only people who get to see this stuff now are the residents of Iraq!
