No, it's not too loud on take off...but when it returns it is a sonic boom! The first time we heard it I thought a bomb went off!

Date: 3/15/2009 8:28:56 PM Those sure are something, huh? I grew up in a town that has an aviation convention every summer and have all different types of aircraft that come. I remember during that week, many times as a kid, hearing sonic booms from the Concord Jet. It would shake the foundation of our house!

Aw I miss living in Orlando. I remember moving to Orlando from NY. It was the coolest experience in the world to see the shuttle. That picture is awesome!

I remember seeing it on my way home from work. It was one of the best launches I have seen, the colors were so pretty!
