Post amazingly cool pictures of aircraft (Volume 2) - Page 153 - Boats, Planes & Trains

No picture but we had a sonic boom here in Cambridgeshire. Press reports indicate an RAF Typhoon was the cause. I assume that the pilot will be called to a "meeting with no tea or biscuits".

It looks like the pilot was scrambling to intercept an incoming airliner that had not responded to radio communications.

I wonder if he was doing a "Maverick's supersonic. I'll be there in 30 seconds" in his head...

Either way its superb.
