That looks more like it's breaking the sound barrier

I think they were pushing right to that limit without crossing it...

Makes sense. I was waiting for the sonic boom. But from what I understand, they usually don't do that over a populated area
Keesler AFB :)

I did my tech training there.
Small world. When were you at Kessler?

It is illegal for them to bust the sound barrier over land....Navy rules are 30,000 feet high or 30 miles away from land....per @Mike.757

Being an air force brat I got to see a lot of air shows and hang with the pilots and planes.

They put on an awesome show.

I get to watch the Blue Angels practice on the regular. Those pilots are nuts!

I have seen both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels live. I saw the Thunderbirds at Dyess AFB when I was stationed there. I saw the Blue Angels at Thunder Over Louisville.

I saw the airshow at Thunder Over Louisville before sequestration took place. It was awesome.
