Well, I can only tell you what they sound like. When I was a kid, it wasn't regulated so I heard a lot of them. Sounds and feels like dynamite went off close to you. The windows in our house would rattle a little.

Sweet. The Concord was a supersonic craft right? It almost looks like its morphing from another dimension.

Sort of looks like the B-1B is wearing a tutu.
