 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
They did the same thing today, but why ?''He did a few sonic booms above Kleine Brogel, very rare sound!''
Translation: Belgian jets did a sonic boom near Limburg.Belgische straaljagers zorgen voor knal boven Limburg
Straaljagers van de Belgische luchtmacht zijn verantwoordelijk voor de forse knal die donderdagmiddag in een groot deel van Limburg te horen was. Dat laat een woordvoerder van de luchtmacht in Nederland weten. De straaljagers vlogen rond twee uur vanmiddag zo'n vijftig kilometer ten zuiden van Maastricht door de geluidsbarriè. De knal was in vrijwel heel Limburg te horen.
Mensen hoorden niet alleen die knal, maar ook ramen en deuren trilden.

Juuust checking: KeeBee is Northwest of Maastricht, isn't it? Ahh, probably that well informed press that made the mistakeDe straaljagers vlogen rond twee uur vanmiddag zo'n vijftig kilometer ten zuiden van Maastricht door de geluidsbarriè.
I do not agree with you on that. A sonic boom gives social commotion. People hear a sound ("explosion") which people don't recognise. Sometimes windows even break. So I don't think that these people are wimps, they just react normal.The Dutch are wimps, "watjes", and the Klu is listening to them...

Does anyone know why jet fighers make sonic booms and what the purpose of it is ?
