Here's a little story about those. They would take off at night in the dark. When they came off the end of the runway, all the bait fish in the mangroves would flush and the tarpon would feed. Good time to be sitting there with a fishing rod.

This has been discussed a few times in photo forums. Some folks like "street photography." Sometimes they "focus" on people who would rather not be photographed. The down and out...
Throw back Thursday photo. This was taken more than six weeks before my son was kicked out/induced for being 17 days late. He was born 8-8-88 and his son will be one year old in October. His wife wanted some photos of my son when he was one and I found this.
What is strange about the video and the "sonic boom" is that you can already hear the Blackbird approach before the sonic boom. If a plane is supersonic, you cannot hear anything until the shockwave arrives. The supersonic aircraft is flying faster than the sound it makes can reach someone's eardrums. Once passed, you get the rest of the sound. All I can think of is the plane just happened to go the speed of sound abeam the photographer so you hear both the approach and the brand new shockwave. Most supersonic aircraft at a distance produce a double boom boom. Up close the double wave is perceived as a single shock. There is a bow wave and another wave on the trailing edge of the supersonic aircraft.

Speaking of the sound barrier, I found two cards of my dad's on my hunt for photos of my son when my son was one year-old. I loved my dad. He died in 2007, after having Alzheimer's and I'm now remembering him before that time of his life. Seeing old photos of him help. We didn't have any type of service or remembrance when he died. I can think of him now without remembering that part.

^In the backyard when I was dressed to go to my prom in 1975.

Or it's also possible there was a delay between the audio and video portions of that video.
I notice that happens in phone taped videos. Must be the software in the phone is not that sophisticated --- especially at the edge of resolution.

Throw Back Thursday - you should start a separate thread.
