Sonic Boom!

Featured Replies

Some sort of aircraft just came over and at 9:40am created a sonic boom. I haven't heard one in years, but it clearly was one. Really loud and resonant. Scared the dog too.

What aircraft was that, I wonder and why was it flying over Samui?

idd shocked that they are allowed to do this over populated tourist areas!

Apparently an F16

Sorry those Brookes baked beans don't agree with me

Either a Grippin or an F16 from Surat air base. They did it a few years ago too.

Shook our office in Banrak as well. Was also told it was an F16.

I was walking out to the car and heard a double boom and felt the shockwaves. Looked around for the explosion before i realized what it was.

Well, as it seems most reports are coming in from Chaweng and Bangrak. So it is pretty obvious that a fast aircraft flew over the general airport area. Most likely just a subtle warning against Bangkok Airways / Samui Airport. (The next one will be carrying....)

Hidden message in there; 'Either we see prices starting to drop, or something else will drop'

It is unlawful to create sonic booms over populated areas, but this is Thailand.................

Heard a couple of jets pass over during the last week or so, nope it's not going to be the norm.

Air Force spokesman says Surat Thani air base will be practicing with the Grippen fighter jets so locals need not panic /TANN

Suratthani Air Base is practicing with Grippen fighter jets...

Surat's mayor sending a message to his counterpart on Samui....!

Island View bungalows in Choengmon had big mirrors cracked in some rooms.

Or they were outrunning the Burmese. :rolleyes:

Crikey....proof we need some soundproofing in our bedroom.

It woke me up. All my windows and doors were shaking. At first I thought it was just thunder and we were about to have a major storm, until I looked out of the window and saw what a beautiful day it was out there.

Unlawful? That's a bit of a stretch considering that the only aircraft capable of supersonic speeds are all military. As we know, the military pretty much does what they want without having to adhere to regional / local laws, especailly in Thailand.

Well, Concorde too.

Here's the Gripen for interested parties.

shame i really wanted to fly on concorde

Yes that was the speed of sound broken.

They could have picked a more approate time like after the film 2012 just to make everyone interested even more.

Aparatenty nostradumas did predict that the first thing to end the world. the first sign would be a big bang followed in the next few day weeks and month of other un naturnal occurences.

If anybody wants some antie anxity tablets then u can come to my job OM me for the details. Ha Ha !!!
