AFB Ysterplaat 2008

Africa Aerospace and Defence airshow at AFB Ysterplaat, Cape Town, a few weeks ago.





The Lightning broke the sound barrier at 15,000 feet.


An air show spokesman said they received numerous complaints.
"We just wanted to demonstrate what it sounds like to break the sound barrier. It has two distinct noises, one after the other."





(I didn't take the pictures.)
