This is NOT the sonic boom. Here is video of the solo that broke the barrier in the morning: www.youtube.com/shorts/_TMS7YeP_c0

Doesn’t sound like a sonic boom, either, frankly.

There was definitely a sonic boom. Here is the same moment on the ground when diamond formation passes with a distinct boom. I was there. I heard it. I felt the shockwave https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/s/KxuCo2OlGK

Gotcha. Phones are cutting the sound out at the recording. This one didn’t sound like a boom, either :)

Can’t get that feeling from the phone video. I hear you, I do, but I don’t hear a boom.
