I've experienced Mach buffet as a passenger in a delayed southbound 737-800. Crossing the Pyrenees, in a northerley jetstream (which I presume suddenly reduced). Moderate buffet with pitching, shockwaves clearly visible from the wing leading edges . Reminded me of one of my early aeronautics lessons
