When I was a kid, my dad was a naval officer stationed on an aircraft carrier and I got to go on something called the “Dependent’s Day Cruise” where we sailed out offshore and got tours of the ship and they did a full-on airshow for us. Because we were out at sea, they could break the sound barrier with impunity, and it was mind-blowingly cool to have fighter jets flying over low enough that we could see the pilots, absolutely silently until that massive shockwave hit your chest. It’s surreal.
